This guy is a regular companion on my morning walks to a small hill near my place.

Where is your place, if I may ask, please?

[Mrudul Godbole]

Nice eye contact. The low angle is good. The light is a bit harsh. Would like a bit more space below. Thanks for sharing.

Sudipto: I live in kozhikode (calicut-where vasco da gama landed) a small town in north kerela surrounded by lots of places with outstanding natural beauty.

That's great. Yellow wattled lapwing during morning walk sounds music to my ears. Reducing the colour temperature will strengthen the image.

Cheers,

HI,

nice shot. Light is bit harsh and best angle to shoot these guys is ground level. lay flat on ground on your belly . subject is awkwardly position in the frame. For this to work, you need more head turn towards you.

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Agree that the light is harsh. Some more head turn towards you would be great. I suppose you can keep trying to photograph this one in various poses and angles.

Makes a change from having a dog as a companion on morning walks...

@ Abhishek
Not just better company for the walk, he makes such ruckus when disturbed im sure he will make a better "WatchBird".

[Bibhav Behera]

I agree with the above made observations. Good to have some company on a morning walk.

Lovely bird, light seems to a bit harsh, low angle would have been better
