Nice capture Mital bhai....Also I liked the placement of the bird in frame...

[Dumay de Boulle]

I like the landing wing position and the light looks geat. Water BG works well on this species...Its amazing how many species that occur in India occur in SA!

I love the pose. and to me the motion blur enhances the action. wonderful.

[Doug Brown]

Very nice sharpness and a good exposure. I would have liked to see the wings fully extended, and I'd move the bird higher in the frame.

[Dan Behm]

Very nice with excellent exposure and light all set off nicely against the BG. I might be inclined to move a tad higher in the frame and right a tad, excellent as presented though!!!

Nice landing pose, I like the feet deployed and prepared for impact with the water. I'm with Doug about the wings and comp. A bit of noise on the wings too, perhaps introduced by lighting the blacks a bit?

[Marc Mol]

Love the landing pose in great light here Mital, would have been nice to have more wing extension, still a fine image.
