Very nice action shot, Jagdeep. Good light and the detail under the wings is superb. The pure whites look a bit hot, but that's a minor isssue in what is a very strong shot.

Good color and sharpness here. The larger image, I don't see any problem at all with the whites.

Beautiful detail in the heron Jagdeep. Great timing and capture of the action. I find the dark object behind the heron a bit of a distraction. Still a cool shot.

Excellent pose and detail in the Heron, Jagdeep. Are the bill and legs normally this intense a color or is this a breeding plumage? Excellent image.

Great image Jagdeep. Love the take-off position, the sharpness and the composition.

Thanks friends!
Steve : the dark object is actually a subject - Indian Moorhen. enlightened

Dennis: you got it right, these are breeding colours.
