Lovely action captured Bibhav, in my view you should have shot with wider aperture like f4 and much higher shutter speed to freeze.

Nice pose.

20% crop overall or in each side?

Did you do noise reduction?

[Bibhav Behera]

Dear Sabyasachi. I mentioned 20% in approximation keeping aspect ratio same and more area removed from the right. No NR beyond what Lightroom does by default. I will share the exact crop amount.

Lovely image. I like the motion blur here, with the rest of the bird sharp. Did you get a series of shots?
