Nice to see this. Light seems to be pretty low. With the 1/25 second shutter speed the wings have become blurred, however, the eye contact is fine. Where and when did you click this? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much sir. The weather was cloudy, sometime drizzling moreover the pool was under a big shrub, so the light was low. These birds are very shy in nature, they come to open very often. Shoot at around 2:30 PM at Kolkata.

Nice sighting. Good eye contact. If possible a lower angle would have enhanced the image further. Thanks for sharing.
