A nice capture of a behavior we often see in the bird's smaller, New World cousins. It would be nice if you tease a little more detail out of the breast; maybe some work with the Shadow/Highlight Tool?

Nice wingspread and good techs (as usual) Jagdeep. An often overlooked bird. Wish more people would post images of them.

Jagdeep: a very nice pose which is well exposed and the techs are spot on. I don't think there is any need to need to bring up the blacks. Given that the bird is black and backlit, opening it further would look artificial. Richard

Nice one, Jagdeep. The bird is positioned nicely with a soft background and nicely backlit.
