Slightly better HA would have made this winner , nice pose , falling water from beak and tight compo works well

Can't always have the perfect HA Sabyasachi! Love the water between the mandibles, you caught that extremely well! :) Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

I really like the water caught in the bill and the good head angle would not have shown it. Photography is a compromise, can't get it all sometimes :)
