Love the low angle, the sharpness and detail, and how the bird seem to be looking at you. Those eye really get my attention. I may crop a bit off the top.

Nice standard profile portrait of this duck. I like the very subtle head turn towards us. Techs are well dialed in and I like the low angle. You could try to minimize the highlights on the bill...

You nailed it Satish! Lovely exposure good composition and a nice head turn - even a few water droplets - lovely shot.

Hi Satish, overall, well exposed and sharp, and you captured a good HA, not to mention that your low angle of capture works too. Love the overall colours of both duck and water, and I too, would take some off the top.

Extra Nice Satish, have to agree with all the above, I think I would also be inclined to crop a little from the top
