Nice wingspread. Fine details of wings. With little imagination I find as if the bird is hanging in the air. Nice take off pose captured. Pleased to see your first posting.

Pubrasthali has developed into an important place for bird watchers and nature lovers for about a decade or so. Not far off from here near Nabadwip (approx. 200 km upstream from sand head) about one hundred Gharials live peacefully in the Ganga. Nowhere in India Gharials could be found so close to the sea.

Nice take off pose. Good eye contact. Some more space on the left, in the direction it is moving would be good. Please do post the camera, equipment and EXIF details to help in commenting. Thanks for sharing.
