I like the low angle. That helps in diffusing the background well. Look forward to more images from that area. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely image. Nice low angle, nice composition and nice light. If I were forced to improve this image I would try cropping some of the lower OOF part.
Look forward to more of the marine and estuarine life from Pichavaram. I have heard a lot about the mangrove tracts in that region.

Nicely diffused foreground and background. Good details. Nice light and composition. Thanks for sharing.
