Great capture, Shalu. A nice sharp shot, with a bit of humor added.

Thank you very much, Mike!

That's an absolute beauty.
Unique, fascinating, beautifully composed.

(Does that lens suffer from severe distortion? Is that why its not listed?)

All jokes aside, that is one very nice photo. Well done

Thank you very much for your comments, Richard. I am going to send the lens back to Sony to check the distortion I must be getting old, did not even notice that distortion initially

Hated the light on this one. I live in a dark dank world, but this shot on on of the 60-65 days of full on Sun

Simply stunning.
Contrasting colours are beautiful and graphic.
Lovely light across the water and on the bird and its catch make it special to my eyes.
