This image was taken at a water kenal just before the bird sanctuary i was entering and this male was just sitting few feet away from his female opposite side of kenal.

I just got layed down to get better green tree behind this male some 100 mtr away and composed. luckily i got that tree and as it was a good shiny light on bird i hope i've achieved good quality too.

Hi Mital,

Nice composition. Liked the perch and the eye contact. I feel the image is a bit more sharpened in post processing, reducing that will enhance the image further.

Look forward to more..
