Sweet image Kaustubh! A little tight in the frame, but I think it works here. Nicely controlled exposure with great eye contact and sharpness. Interesting pose too.
Nice moment there Kaustubh, given you lighting conditions I think I would have gone for f8 and maybe just a little more DOF. I appreciate the colours will be bright in that light but is the leg a little OTT?
Shoveller legs are screaming orange...so not really over the top. I had to reduce the red channel a bit to get some details out in the leg. agree on stopping down a bit.Quote:

I like the interesting pose of this Kaustubh (I don't know Shovelers too well, so I didn't know this is typical for them) Great low angle, detail, composition. Agree about a bit more DOF, and maybe just a bit more room in crop.
So very beautiful and sharp. I am fine with the d-o-f. If anything, pointing the lens a bit to the left, perhaps a single inch, would likely have resulted in a stronger COMP....
Very beautifully done KD, i like the eye contact..
Really like that low angle with the bill in the water. Great eye contact as well.
Hey Kaustubh,
You know I am fine with the crop:bg3:......the angle is great and the rest looks good on this end! Very nicely done!!!
Kaustubh I like the pose captured here a lot, well conceived and captured. Low angle and sharpness has been mentioned and the colours are excelent. Love the green sheen you get on the heads of your Drake images, nicely controlled.
