Good looking pose you have caught here Kedar, although i wud like the BG to be a bit brighter (by applying Lumnosity masks) but that can be a subjective call.
Also 1 small nit, the 2 white OOF spots in the BG (1 on the middle left of the image near the flamingos tail & the other at the top middle top above the flamingos head) can be easily cloned out
BTW where exactly did u capture this in Maharastra, i m guessing it at Lake Arthur at Bhandhardhara?

Lovely moment of capture. :wavey:
In my opinion there is lost visual space on top and bottom that distract rather than add to image. :eek:
A 3 to 2 strong horizontal crop would work :toast:

I like the picture - thinking a horizontal crop is worth a try and get rid of the white splotches

I agree on the crop and removal of the white splotches. Also feels close to over-sharpened.

I too would remove some space from top and bottom. Sharpening looks OK to my eye.

A really beautiful shot Kedar, I would leave the bottom as is but crop some from the top to just below the white spot and take a bit off the left to remove the other spot. Love the interaction and lighting in this shot. :toast:
