    Great low angle, excellent exposure, angle in frame,prey, breakers in background.

    I would clone out the large specular highlight on the right.

    Cheers

    Great action/behavior, Vikram. Love the low perspective. The colors are all complementary. I agree on cloning out the highlight. I would give the head a little more sharpening. Well done!

    Nice low angle and and I like the protective pose above the prey. I agree with the specular highlight removal suggestion and more sharpening on the subject. I would go into selective colour and remove the yellow to the blue channel (or add cyan)...this should give you a very pleasing hue to the water. I also would prefer a tad leass room at left and more at right (not much needed, but it would improve the balnce of the comp IMO). Very neat sighting, thanks for sharing!

    Rakesh thanks for the magical touch to the iamge. The specular highlight was really distracting. The brighter image especially on head looks fresh and lively.
