Fantastic shot! Pose, eye contact, exposure control, sharpness, detail are all spot on IMO.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice details and comp! Good alert pose. I'd likely eliminate the piece peeking in in LRC, and reduce the shine on the bill and far leg. Waht is the perch?

[Duane Noblick]

I agree about the piece in the LRC if it's within your ethics to do so...minor thing though. Is it OK to say I feel I could reach out and touch this bird as a critique? I don't say that often but that's how I feel about this image...so lifelike. ;)

[RAM MALLYA]

From head to toe the bird is sharp .Lovely image mital bhai.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Sweet image. Nice light and pose and a real nice perch as well. As mentioned , the shine on the bill needs to be toned down just a bit.

[Peter Farrell]

Excellent. I especially like the pose and the highlight on the legs.
I am also curious about what he is perching on?

[Mital Patel]

he is perching on the sand stone made up by the salty water and sand ...

[Hendri Venter]

Allround pin sharp and nice angle. Splendid image Mital.

Interesting perch, I also like eye contact and sharpness. Another vote for removing the sheen on legs and bill and if it were mine I might remove the stone in the lower right.
