Big congratulations on your 3000th post Harshad! I love the pose with the raised crest feathers. You did the most with the light angle, but I do wish the face were illuminated (as I'm sure you do). I would crop a bit off the top of the frame.

Hey Harshad, congratulations on your 3000th post! I'm with the others (and you) on the light issue, but still a very neat species you share with us for your milestone. The crest up is nice. You may wish to rid the blue cast on the plumage by desaturating the blue and cyan channels. Is that an OOF blade of vegetation in LR?

[Harshad Barve]

Thanks everyone and here is repost with color correction , How it looks now

Congrats on your milstone bhai.. keep them coming..

[Brian Barcelos]

Congrats Bhai, This is a beautiful species and the raised crest really makes this one. BG is interesting and I like the side lighting. I'd like a little off the top and right and add some to the left IMO. Still a fine image my friend.

Congratulations on the milestone! I like the pose, inquisitive look and sharpness, the light angle has been mentioned.

[Stu Bowie]

Hey Harshad, congrats on your milestone. Im surprised you say flash is not allowed in your parks. In our Kruger National Park, it is allowed. Good sharp detail, and I like your repost. Well done.

Congrats on the 3000th Harshad and such a beauty of a bird to show for the occasion. Great Work!

[denise ippolito]

Congrats on the milestone. I think you did a great job w/ the image and I like the raised crest.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Congrats buddy!
And thanks for sharing this beauty. Agree with Doug about the crop from top. Light is not an issue for me. May be a better head angle.

[Ilija Dukovski]

Congratulations! You've got some powerful bird there, I love the looks and the crest.
Hope for many more to come...

[Morkel Erasmus]
