    I Used Nik Polarization which added more interest in the image.

    Mital, this is terrific. Perfect timing, bird angle, shooting angle, HA and light angle....all crucial for wing-flap shots. You nailed it, dude.

    But again, if mine, I'd have a little more room on top :-)

    Textbook low angle, head angle, wing position, exposure, and sharpness. Nicely done!

    Quite excellent. I love your ISO choice to prevent any motion blur on the wings. I love everything about this one: EXP, orientation of the bird to the plane of the sensor, the head angle. the nice blue water, and the concentric rings. I wish only for a better view of the near underwing (where the primaries are slightly shaded).

    I'm with KD for more room above (and perhaps a bit less below), but all else looks great. I like the timing of the peak of the back swing of the wing flap. WTG!!

    I like the perspective, soft light and sharpness. Well timed for the wing flap, and I like the colour of the water.
