Nice details of the IBIS. The saturation seems to have blown the whites a bit which you can recover on PP. A little more space to the bottom and to the right (direction the bird is facing) and less space behind would have enhanced the composition further,. Nice striding pose and good documentation of the environment.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the feedback, Rajan. When i clicked this image i hadn't heard abt composition. I need to learn a lot and fast. i hv been going to wild since 2007, but the idea of photography came last year.

Hi Subhash, great you have embraced photography as a hobby.

It is often said, a good wildlife photographer is one who not only understands the equipment and the physics around Light, but is knowledgeable about the subject - in this case the flora and fauna.

With your passion for the wild and related experience, you do have a great jumpstart to wildlife photography. Look forward to more snaps through your lens in the days to come.

regards
Rajan

Agree with Rajan. Small changes to camera angle makes a lot of difference. Most of the times we start shooting from the position where the driver of the safari vehicle stops. Raise or lower yourself and see the effect. Move your position to left or right and that would have some more impact.
