Nice image of the heron Sameer. Looks like the bird was closeby. You could have increased the shutter speed to get the wings in focus. The eye contact looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

The eye contact is nice. Nice flight pose. Is this a crop? I would like some more space all around. What software are you using for post processing? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for the comments .....yes rajeev sir its a hand held and usually i use CS5 for post process and its a 50 % crop.

Image is not sharp. Cropping magnifies the defects. Better to compose according to the focal length of your equipment. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
