Nice and low and great HA. Excellent exposure. I feel this needs a bit of CCW rotation. Nice composition with enough space top and bottom,

it's illusion gail. initially i had same though and i pur ruler and straighten it. looks the dried vegetation on water in oof front makes this feel.

Hi Bhai, excellent low perspective, and you have exposed this fellow nicely, as they are fairly difficult to get spot on. The droplets add interest, and I agree with Gail regarding the CCW rotation. If you line up the catchlights of the eye, they should be vertical to each other.

[Mital Patel]

Sutart bhai,

now i got what gail was pointing :). i just checked horizontal horizon of the water base which usually i do to correct the level cuz body was level to water and sometimes heads leaning so hard to make vert as well. but here in this case itd diff..

might have to go back on ps and check vert as well which i totally left over.

EDIT ::::

Bhai i just tried it out but getting more confuse when do CCW the bottom base horizon gets disturb. i would appreciate if you can just copy this and sketch up and post .

I like your low angle and the water drops on the bird. i wish the water was cleaner in front of the moorhen
