Bibhav,
You got a nice take off pose. The raised wings look good. The bamboos are planted for fishing? Did you click from boat or land? Did you get any flight shots? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Dear Sabyasachi,
This was taken from a boat. The bamboos are placed to mount the fishing nets in the river. I have a few flight shots but not too great ones :)
Will post more soon. Thanks

Nice image bibhav.The angle and upward swing of the wings has brought out both under and outer wing pattern nicely. The mangroves provide a pleasing BG. Dont know if it is my monitor but looks like a slight reduction in brightness will do good.

Roopak. I agree with you. I processed it in a hurry and mistook the actual brightness due to a faulty angle of viewing on my part. Will correct and repost.

Nice pose captured. I liked the wing position and perch. I agree with the above comments. Its good you got it sharp from a boat. Thanks for sharing.
