An excellent concept here. The caption is appropriate, keeping the bird at peace (in my view) and the rest of the world. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure what this is look at the thumbnail - very nice image here Prakash. I have seen/made several such in the past but the size/blue cast on the bird and morning glow sets this apart. May be mind wants to see a bit of details in the shaded region.

Thanks Raghu and Ganesh..
@ganesh I had increased the black in PS..I will rework on this image even the blue cast is tad too much I felt after your input..thanks a lot

hi prakash, you said it before i could comment - i love the image, but feel the blue cast is a tad heavy. also, along the lines of what ganesh said - if there is a sliiiight opening up of the dark area that connects or cues us, leads the eye from the peace to the warmth, it will complete the feeling nicely!

lovely seeing and great image, thanks!

Very nice frame here Prakash. I like the warm light on the foliage. As already suggested, slightly opening up the shadows will add a lot IMO too.

lovely one, prakash. like the impact of minimal egret with hint of leaves on the top. agree with others on little opening up.

regards.

The punch in the image is due to the blue cast in egret. One of those images where only color version works because the blue cast nicely represents the coolness of the shade.
