Nice open wing pose of the bird captured.There seems to be a little shake though, resulting in some loss of details.Bengal has such beautiful variety of avian life.Thanks for showcasing them on this platform.

Nice pose. Good details in the underparts of the wing. I feel just a bit more space at the bottom to include its imaginary legs (legs submerged in water) would have strengthened the composition further. What is the dark roundish thing(?) in the background on the left? Thanks for sharing.
