Photographer's Note

this was shot when he was concentrating in his food...though he is a regular visitor in a pond near our house...but that day i caught him in his catching position...& for me it was not an easy shot for me ...

It can be put under 'Decisive moments' too.. Good work , it is..! But did you saturate it too much? Or is it too much contrast?! It looks a little fluoroscent too. Otherwise, its a nice shot! Keep it up! Also, as another improvement, you can try to include its prey too, next time!

Hi Swagata,
First of all Welcome to TE. I was going across shots of Chandannagar,my hometown ,when I found this.The beauty of this one lies in thw simplicity of the subject being captured.A lonely scavanger in a desolate field,happily having a feast!!You're right ,this is not an easy shot to catch!!Good timing.
I should however point out that as rightly said by Nitin nad Soumya ,the colors were little oversaturated.Dont worry though,as a begginer these things do happen.You improve as you learn and TE gives you a good chance to learn.
I tried a simple WS(not thast I'm a master in WS) to reduce the saturation.Another tip-Try to post the shot in the max. prmissible pixel size!!
Carry on with your journey in TE,
Regards,
Sagarneel.
