I have many portrait shots of this bird (and so do many wildlife photographers), but this is my favorite photograph of the lot. Many people think this is a bad picture, since it's out of focus, but for me this represents the bird, its amazing flight and its lovely habitat... all in one single frame. Normally you do not get such an open space in the forests. I was lucky here as I was on the Kali river and this bird was flying at the edge of it.
