Gaurav:
This image really shows off that trademark bill. Nice shooting angle. I like the 3D effect from having the light angle off to the right. Flying water a plus, like the stones/bottom showing through and matching the color of the plumage.
I might consider cropping slightly from the top, and would soften the brown blobs in LUC with the clone stamp or some other tech.
Cheers
Randy

Good techs and nice behaviour. Agree regarding cropping off the top.

Agree with some off the top, but an otherwise super image! Well done on the techs and the perfect POV for the water texture which I dig alot here.

I really like the clarity of the water and the play of blue and yellow in the water. A really nice image. I agree with Randy re: cloning the brown blobs in LUC,

I like your low angle and the splashing water. Nice reflective yellows in the water too

Gaurav, agree with all the positives above. A splendid image.
with water splashes, you need a lot of DOF..so better to go a bit high on ISO for higher SS. f/8 is good here but a higher SS would have given you a sharper face and droplets IMO.
