As from the fact being a good birder i wished not to look by photographers eye here is what i have to present you as this was the first sequence shot i've taken from ground and this is my first time i've seen and capture. wish them to see again and again with good time so that we can capture them in various location in various good forms.

Thats a Fantastic shot Mital. Lovely Low angle. Amazing shot of this rare species.

[RakeshDhareshwar]

Brilliant image of this rare species . Would have been a winner if you could have been able to include the legs too .

[Peregrine Craig Nash]

Wow What a Bird I would love to see one of these.

[Dan Brown]

Great capture of a rarity! Maybe you can get a better HA next time! Cool bird!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great to see this species, I also like the angle, sharpness and setting. Too bad about the head angle.

[Luis Villablanca]

Wonderful light, angle and pose.
I would have preferred the head facing more towards you though.

[Mike Veltri]

Lovely shot, a better look from the bird would have put this over the top but still a fine image.

[Bill Dix]

What a lovely rare creature, and a lovely capture. The soft background is beautiful. A winner despite the HA that has been mentioned. Great work to even see this guy, and even moreso to capture a great shot of him.

[Ofer Levy]

Congratulations for getting a nice shot of this bird. I see a strong greenish cast though.

[Harshad Barve]

Nice find and glad you got some clean images of it. Agree about HA, and also about colour cast. Love the low angle.
