Great! Just super Karan. I see absolutely nothing technically wrong with this image and as far as creative work it is a classic pose and fine perch. Great image...well done.

Impresionante enfoque Karan, además, el ángulo bajo de disparo le da un aire de grandeza especial al ave. Bonitos colores y excelente control de la luz.

Hello Karen,
This is a beautiful bird making it more beautiful with this stunning shot. I have tried captured a few white birds against the sky but did not come out good.

When I see this, I was thinking of some 3-D manipulation of an object. Really awesome with all the details and clarity you have managed really well. Incredibly flawless and I hope you won't mind me adding this to my personal theme and my favorite post.

Very well done.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Karan,
amazing how he can perch there with ease on such a thin looking branch!The ruffled neck feathers are a really nice touch and your sharp focus and composition really do him justice.

It's well composed with a great POV & pose. Love those feathers both high & low on the neck splayed out by the wind, cool :)

I think that they are great and elegant birds too! I like the way the wind hits its neck's feathers which gives a nice movement at the picture. Details, POV, exposure and composition are wonderful! This is beautiful!

Hi Karan

Nice to see you’re doing splendid works with both a nice zoom lens and the wide angle one; you are a well accomplished photographer!
This is a splendid shot of this majestic heron!
The title for this one is perfect in my opinion and it's pose says it all.
The details are also very good - clear and sharp - and i really like the different textures of the plumage.
Nice colors and excellent composition, too.

Bravo and TFS
