This is a beautiful flight study of the Northern Pintail, Mital.
Exposure, comp, sharpness all spot on.
The BG colors complement the bird in a most appealing way.
My only suggestion to possibly improve the excellent image, is to try to restore some feather detail in the bright whites on the neck.
That said, I like the photograph very much, as presented.

Looks like a Watercolor Duck stamp, Mital.
Great BG and very nice detail on a difficult subject to get a nice BIF of.
Nice work.

Bill,
You've made a really good notice. and i've tried to correct it a bit with mask on white's.
Hope this works.

Btw Bill
I would still prefer the OP as it represents the dimensional light well and when i checked picker i saw there were still some detail.
For image this is fine but if i see the pintail this is more buffed up to what we see it actually here in our part when they arrive they have slight yellow say 5% over to 95% white belly or underpart.
