    Yes, a very nice pose captured.
    BTW, I'm at Bangalore now, for a month.

    Ramesh:

    I like the striding pose, low shooting angle, sharpness and exposure.

    Your low shooting angle allowed the greater DOF to keep the entire bird in focus without the background becoming bothersome.

    Well done.

    Because of the head angle, you could trim a sliver off the left side, but nice as is.


    Cheers

    Hi Ramesh, the little guy looks startled with those splayed legs. Good low angle of capture, exposure spot on, sharp, and this has a nice 3D effect to it. Pops well from the BG.

    Ramesh, absolutely loved the pose you froze. excellent subject isolation. I think it can go a bit brighter.

    Very nice light, pose and shooting angle, Ramesh. Lovely bird.
    I'd clean up the eye a bit.
