Hello Smitha,
Though I have seen many Paddy Birds while I was in Goa, I have never seen one in breeding plumage. This is a fine capture showing one in its full splendour with good sharpness and set in a good composition with fine OOF BG.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Best wishes, Ivan

What a nice capture, with the bread in its beak. Lovely composition, POV, colors and detail. Good DOF.

TFS, Mish

Hi Serkan,
I didnt know Herons can swim?
Great capture of this magnificent bird.
Brilliant reflection and I love the pose of the Heron.
Well done,

Hi Paul, well composed shot with good speed on the water. Although the exposure is well handled I would burn in just a little on the mid-tones in the central water to reveal the movement and turbulence of the fall. Well done.

Wow!
Hi Peter,
seems like the original shot was dark and you had to brighten it up quite a bit but it's always a prize when you photograph a Kingfisher and you've still done it superbly!
Absolutely brilliant!
Well done,
Joey
