hi jayesh, and BIG WELCOME to BPN!! good looking bird and nice exposure. only wish for a little more room all around and a better head angle (one that connects the viewer with the bird). looking forward to your future posts!

btw, i like how you put the flames on the name of the bird. nice touch!;)

Welcome to BPN Jayesh. Your title certainly fits your image. This bird looks like it has just popped up from a dive. I like the water drops on its neck and back.

I agree with Harold that having the bird's head turned more towards your camera would have improved this image.

Welcome. Neat looking bird. I agree with the others regarding the direction of travel.
