Hey Kaustubh, what a stern looking fellow. Excellent customary low angle and nice exposure on the blacks with good detail. I like the composition which suits the pose and approach of the duck.

Your usual high standard :S3: I would have cloned out strip on top TFS:cheers:

Nice one Kaustubh, there are hundreds of these out on Lkae Ontario right now - still waiting to get a decent close shot of one.

Love the angle and eye contact KD! The bg colors are lovely and I like the tight crop for this image. Well done.
