Welcome! A lovely first entry with a great sense of the bird's flight from the front. Great sense of forward motion. Looking forward to more.

A fine in-flight image, Srinivasan, with a nice down-wing pose, and lighting, detail and colour, all very good, here.

As others have already commented, a really nice angle on this flight image. I like the somewhat unusual crop leaving more than usual at the bottom gives it a sense of buoyancy as it flies over the water. Well done.

Welcome! A nice flight shot of this handsome bird. I like that it's positioned against the background which has colors that match the bird.
