Eyes and bills well documented. Colours look natural. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice eye contact..... Is this a full frame? compo wise would have liked more space at the bottom that will also exclude the white highlights in the BG (egrets maybe)...

Nice eye contact. Agree with Roopak, about more space in the bottom to include the legs. A vertical composition usually works in the case of tall birds. Thanks for sharing.

This guy is a baldy. Looks like one of those aged bald farmers in the fields, trapped in the scorching sun. Wish the entire bird was visible, but doesnt look as if you got a chance. Nice eye contact. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everybody.

This is a crop of about 20 % . The brid's legs were invisible since they were submerged in the vegetation and hence the decision to leave less space down below. Will keep the suggestions in mind.

This fellow looks like a character from the story books. I agree with the earlier suggestions. The subject doesn't appear to be sharp. The logo at the top right looks sharp and takes away attention.

Cheers,
