    Hi Ramesh, I know these guys dont hover, but this inflight pose sure looks like it - well timed. Good placement in the frame, colours stand out nicely, and you couldnt have chosen a better BG.

    Fantastic job, Ramesh, outstanding in every way. Such a stunning bird and you've captured it perfectly. Awesome view of that tail and love the feet up like that, ready to land.

    Absolutely fantastic great action shot. If it were mine I would enhance the contrast just a tad.

    Wonderful picture you shows us here. Last summer I've see them on lesvos but always with the sun at there back sadly for me but next time I nail that lovely colored birds. Great sharpness and great detail. But telling you the truth I mis a little bit the peach where he suppose to land but beside that, a gorgeous picture.

    Killer flight shot. It's amazing that at 1/5000 of a second there is still some movement in the wing. Great job on handholding this one. Really like the pose, the colors, the BG. It all came together nicely for you.

    Magic image, Ramesh !! Capture, definition indeed all technique absolutely spot on. The BG to my eyes a little too smooth and studio like..would prefer more substance in it. Of course this is a personal element, still an amazing work.
