Nice posture photographed. There is some detail loss on the wings, I think it is a bit overexposed. You can try to recover the details in post processing. The details on the beak are nice. Is this photographed at Ranganathtittu?

The pose is nice. As pointed out, there is detail loss in the wings. The narrower aperture works here.

Bhibav / Mridhul : I am still working on the post processing tips provided on the website, i am making a note of suggestion on each upload. will defnitely do a better job in the next upload.

You can check the image after clicking in your camera LCD. If portions of the image blinks, that means the white portions have got overexposed. When the image gets overexposed, the white portions lose details ie. they appear white without any details or texture. It is not possible to recover that. So you ought to be careful while photographing.

Cheers,
