Debapratim, wow this is great, the parent is posed so beautifully, and gotta love that open-beaked pose of the enthusiastic youngster. Great job capturing this sweet family interaction and being able frame that long fancy tail.

Excellent frame, Debapratim. The adult looks impressive with its fancy tail and the young looks god with its beak open, bagging for food.

Perfect composition to include that iconic tail and the interaction between adult and young. Lovely detail in the dark plumage and nicely showing the iridescence on the parent. Beautifully done Debapratim!

Great image showing this begging behaviour. Not an easy composition to sort out with those crazy tail feathers.Looks great.

Thanks for looking,
