Nice catch. Did any fighting happen between the two for the fish?

It is nice that you were positioned to capture the painted stork parallel to your camera sensor. I would crop slightly from the top to lose the hint of the rock at the top edge of the frame. Seems you had a good time during your trip.

Cheers,

Lovely image Abhishek. The fish in the mouth adds to the image. Great work with the PnS. Agree about the crop from the top.
Thanks for sharing. looking fwd to more from your trip.

Nice composition. The fish is a bonus. Sharp. Thinking if a vertical composition would work. Keep posting.

Thanks everyone,
Agree abt cropping out the top.
Sabayasachi : These two didn't fight, but some of the painted storks were stealing fish from the grey herons around there.

Wow! nice image and excellent timing

[Sagar Patil]

Super.
Can you tell me distance between your lens and these two guys?

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Sagar : They were quite far off. At least 40 feet, or maybe more. In fact this is a big crop. I had to crop it to get rid of an OOF grey heron that walked into the foreground when I clicked.:D
