The flying pattern is nice. Liked the upward wing position. The light looks a bit harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture. They are flying a bit away from you. Had that been angled more towards you, it would have been better. There are sharpening artefacts near the wing tips. Thanks for sharing.

A friends' outing :)

Agree with little bit over sharpening. Open beak of first one looks nice.

Hi Atul, Any difference between 1st two and other two. Male/female, based on color pattern of neck ?

Hi Sagar,
Last two are juveniles.

I like the wing positions. I wish there was was adequate separation among the birds. Agree that the image is oversharpened. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
