Nice hovering flight pose captured. The wingspread looks nice. It is good you used a high shutter speed to photograph. There seems to be some loss in details, is this a crop? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all your comments....its a 50 % cropped and as it just dived in water and came back it was fully wet thats the reason i lost the details.

Nice wingspread. The details will be better, when the subject is closer and when the critical focus is achieved. This seems to be a rather large crop. Wish you had a longer tele. I am sure we will see a better one from you one day. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
