Mital,
This is a nice image. Pleasing composition. The low angle increases the impact and the background has come out lovely. There is a green band in the water that passes just behind the body of the stint. However, it is sufficiently diffused and doesn't distract.

The image looks sharp. If the neck would have been twisted towards you by just a little bit, then eye contact would have been even better.

Overall a superb image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Mital,

I loved the expression of exploration. The main thing i've noticed is the reflection of the shining water in the eye and at throat & belly

Hi Mital,

I liked the low angle and the stride.Beautiful composition and nice complimenting BG. A little bit more space at the direction of his movement would have enhanced it further.

Lovely image.

Look forward to more..

Hi Mital,

Wow, what a shot through angle of 180. This is photo of the month as per my opinion.
