    A little more room at the top and the right. Impressive.
    5DII serves you well.

    Fantastic timing and excellent pose Layton. Negative space at the bottom is not working for me. Also image looks little dark on my calibrated monitor. Here is a repost. Hope you dont mind.

    I loved it... amazing action captured Sir... i like the colour of water in your post... it is adding a lot IMHO... as according to my taste i even liked the repost but i think it looks over done because of the whites...

    Sudhanshu,

    That is a white pelican. I use a calibrated monitor and original was little dark. All I did was levels adjustment.

    I love Sid's crop but feel that the whites should be somewhere between Sid's too-bright and Layton's too dark so I am with you Sudhanshu-bhai.

    At what time was the image made Layton?

    Loved the pose and water splash. The BG is sweet too. Light angle, I have realised, is the most important thing while shooting White pelicans. If these are easilly accessible to you, then try the same when the sun is even lower.
