    That's a peach - love the colour range and the detail, great pose, pretty well an ideal background too.

    So good, and a new bird for me.
    It moves even though it's a still image, love the "relaxed" feet

    Very nice shot Mital. I like the head angle and coming to land pose. Out of curiosity, are these winter migrants that have come to Gujarat? Looks like you have had wonderful birds on the 24th.

    EzhilSuresh,

    24th i went to a location where generally we get vultures including eagles. but there are many other birds too that feed on the carcasses.
    other than raptors every species we find there they are resident. Even Black-headed Ibis breed here in my town in huge colony ...

    Beautiful image Mital with excellent pose and exposure I love the way you have maintained overall softness while post processing this one ,The only nick i see is with the focus not holding on to the eye and shifting to the top of legs

    MItal, nice pose and there is just that little bit angle to the bird which is why it works. loved those feet and light of course.

    Is that sharpening halo between neck and white body?
