It’s beautiful. The soft, foggy background emphasizes the bird’s contrast and sharpness. The play of light on the wings suggests that the fog will burn off with the sun’s coming. One tiny nitpicking observation: the two circular light spots in the upper RC seem relatively bright and keep pulling my eye away from the bird.
Love the mood of this image with the foggy backdrop. Bird looks mighty fine especially considering the fog. The two white blobs in upper right tend to draw my eye some too but not severely. Well done.
This is simply gorgeous, Jagdeep! The soft, cool light is stunning. Beautiful wing position with just a touch of wing blur, I also love the legs down position. The reeds impart a little bit of the environment but not too much. This is really sweet.
