    Kaustubh,
    Just about perfect, I know we are supposed to offer critiques but there just
    isn't a thing I would change., Exposure, colors, etc. spot on.
    Maybe a better reflection would improve, but out of your control.
    Really nice.

    Excellent pose, exposure, and detail!

    Might consider shifting bird just a tad more to the right in the frame.

    Beautiful light, colours and excellent techs. Not sure about including the reflection.

    A fine image, Kaustubh. Nice pose, detail, and light. Can't make up my mind about the reflection.

    Great capture with sharp detail and lovely colors. I especially like the water falling from the beak. I assume you haven't been out much out of respect for our Texas heat. I am in the same boat. The 100+ degrees days have been brutal. Rather than snowed-in, we are "Sun'ed In."

    Got my first view of one of these this week. Not close neough for a great shot and no breeding colors so I do love this shot and hope for one soon. I really like the water at the end of the beak and I feel the crop is just right.

    As usual this is very well done Kaustubh, sharp, good exp., bkgr. Just personal preference but I could do without the reflection. I here you about the heat Tommy, I am a couple states east of you and it is oppresive here. I am ready for fall.
