Dear Publisher & Members
This is my first visit to Bhindawas just 50 km from Gurgaon, this about 15 square KM sanctuary declared by Haryana Govt and maintance is super poor if Govt maintain this sanctuary this lake can be a paradise for birds, bec this lake is always full of water round the year, in winter season u can see the 50 species of birds, uploading a first pic from Bhindawas

Good to know about this place. I have never visited it. May be I will try to visit there in Jan. It would be good if you can give the route. Is the road good for a car?

You were nicely positioned to take this image. The eye contact is good. It would have been good if the sun was behind you, so that the entire side profile would have been lit.

I am guessing that you would have used a tripod. If so, the it is also a good idea, if time permits, to use the live view mode and then press the zoom (+) button to zoom into the image and then manually focus it. That would help in critical focusing. It becomes important if the bird/animal is far off and there is vegetation all around.

How many comb ducks did you see? Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more images from this place.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Lovely action captured. The eye contact is nice. The water droplets flying around add to the composition. Agree about the light.

Thanks for sharing the details of Bhindawas. Look forward to more from there.
