Gadwall drake..front view

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

40D. 400 f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 400. 1/1600s. catchlight added in post.

Among the many Gadwall shots that I have, this happens to be my favorite as it shows the feather pattern so well.

All C&C welcome and appreciated.

Tack sharp where it needs to be. Beautiful light and BG as well as great comp. The little water drop puts it over the top.:)

[Brendan Dozier]

Beautiful light and composition! BG color adds to whole feel of image.

[Chad Caswell]

Great shot, very nice low perceptive.

[Rohan Kamath]

I loved the angle of this shot. Good sharpness and a lovely dual toned BG. The drop adds a lot.

Kaustubh, Beautiful low shooting angle and I love the two toned gradient background. Nice details and pose-well done.:)

[Grace Scalzo]

The colors and feather details are so pleasing to look at!

[Doug Brown]

I like it for all the reasons outlined above. I think it could stand a bit more sharpening and a slight contrast boost.

[James Salywoda]

Gorgeous! I love the colors and excellent detail and the low angle very nice.

[Pieter de Waal]

Hi Kaustubh, beautiful image with great background giving it a nice dreamy feel. Love the pose and eye contact and agree with a little more sharpening on the head.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Fantastic Kaustubh...Love the low angles and the overall colors are great!

[Stu Bowie]

Kaus, You could have asked him to wipe his beak before taking the image.:) Jokes aside, that droplet adds a lot to the image, and I do like this angle. Lovely two tone BG, and your comp works well.

[Mark Young]

The low angle is sweet. You've got some awesome amount of details in the breast.

The two toned BG makes this image awesomely wonderful !!
