That's nice. Good interaction. You have clicked at the right moment. The open bill of the pelican and the tern vertically over it makes it over the top. Is this a crop? If so from which side? Do you have any more space at the top?

Cheers,

Wow nice moment captured. The open beak looks great. I liked the wing spread of the tern. It is good you used a high shutter speed. Did you dial in a +ve exposure? The vertical composition frames the birds well. Thanks for sharing.

Sandesh,

Wildlife photography is tough. A difference in a millisecond or an inch to the left or right (or top or bottom) will make a major difference. It is a continuous learning. Just keep an eye on what all you need to pick up. And slowly over a period of time you will realise that you are practicing the same things in the field.

More space at the top would have been great. How much of a crop from the bottom is this?

I am uploading a version here. Depending upon the mood you want to portray, you can enhance the contrast level and the background will change accordingly.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
