The bg has a lot of habitat as we did not have a choice. The reeds were a part of the habitat and we ourselves were lying in a lot of slush for this bird to come close.

BG, water, action all great. I think a little CW rotation would be in order and think the image could go brighter. Love the water droplets

beautiful wing position,action,details...agree for a bit CCW rotation!
lovely image beautiful clarity to face
Amazing detail!!!!!!! Rotation gets my vote as well. Still another Killer image.
i would echo tony on the correction. you have winner here ramesh. seems you were about to handshake :)
Hi Ramesh - This is an awesome image, my friend. I love the color and the lighting as well as the action pose with the water droplets. Get that baby level and you have a gallery hanger. Well done.
Great angle, sharpness and I also like the BG. I wish for some bill/wing separation and it looks a bit underexposed. Rotation has been mentioned.
Ramesh-bhai,
Killer bird and light. After rotating it, I brightened it quite a bit. It needed it.
I gasped when this one opened. In a perfect world, the wings would have been fully swept back. That would have given us a better view of the near underwing and eliminated the merge of the bill tip with the far wing.
IAC, I would be very glad to have this one in my collection.

Great job in taking this action shot! As mentionned before, a small rotation with a a bit more light and this is a winner! Congratulations Ramesh!
