Very nice bhai, the low angle with the water gives a nice feel.

Good job on the exposure, and I like the eye-level look at this flying speedster. I do wish for a better wing position (extended all the way up) and I'd crop some off the top.

Mital, stunning shot. not easy to pull off at that low angle. the water surface makes it very special. perfect exposure.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Beautiful shot - no need for the 800 you have great results already

Like how you photographed this bird at eye level and you're at a 90 degree angle of his flight path which works well. Nice catchlight in the eye. I only wish for a better wing position.

Can't wait to see how you do with the 800. Might take a few tries to get the birds in the frame for BIF!

Nice gliding along look here. My only nit would be the shadow on the wing. Great blue water color and shooting angle
