it was taken in very overcast day had no sunlight and very cloudy and to grab this was stood with monopod and in water with small plant as hide.
observing this chap was coming again after hunting something on water so was sure that will come so waited for 45 minutes may failed trials .. :)
This one put a huge smile on my face. The background looks like heaven, the bird's face is sharp with an inquisitive look on it, and the whites are so white. The raised wings and the tail tips put it over the top for me. The wing tips are surprisingly blurred for 1/800 sec.

Great BG and face looks sharp, Mital. Would be nice to have the bird a bit bigger in the image but would probably lose quality with more cropping. Swallows are challenging.
