Hi Sucheth,

We really had a lot of fun. It was nice meeting you. We should have more meets :-).

The eye contact of the both the birds is nice. The green background looks good. There seems to be some highlights on the back of the bird on the left, you can try to recover the details in processing. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image Sucheth. Agree with Mrudul's comments. From composition perspective, would have preferred bit more space at the bottom; that's an ideal scenario though. Considering a moving boat, very well captured.

It was great to meet you. Had priceless experiences during the meet.

Yeah, we definitely need to have more meets.

I agree with the previous comments. It is not easy to create a pleasing composition when there are two individuals in the frame as they tend to look at two different directions. In this case the red flower at the left corner balances. I agree that the whites have got overexposed. So a negative compensation in this case would have been great. The way these two are bunched together is nice.

It was certainly nice interacting with you.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Good capture. These are Cattle Egrets- Bubulcus ibis.

Nice Sucheth. these are cattle egrets, with little egrets you will have black legs with yellow feet and a black bill.
