    40D. 400 f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 400. 1/2000s. warm evening light. I didn't go lower as I wanted to capture the waves at the feet.

    All comments welcome.

    Very pleasing image Kaustubh...Event at this angle it looks nice...

    The light is soft and nice on wings.

    Hi Kaustubh,
    I like the comp and the shooting angle. I find that the white feathers have a yellowish cast but perhaps this is the light? or my monitor?Tack sharp as usual,

    Kaustubh, beautiful light, HA, gorgeous water and like the pose. The bird appears a little soft especially the head, maybe another round of sharpening?

    nice light and iridescent colors Kaustubh, I agree with the softness, I am used to seeing better sharpness from your work but maybe this was just due to atmospheric conditions?

    Lovely soft light KD, which has brought out the colours in the wings nicely. Good leaning pose, and the angle works well. Love the blue of the water.

    Very nice image, I like the angle pose and exposure. I would suggest the image could be sharpened just a little more.

    Very nice colors and the idea of adding the waves works well. Also feel its not up to your usual IQ. I suppose thats what you ge when you set such high standards
