Hope you are not getting bored of these. Common species that I have many keepers of...but I love photographing them. All C&C welcome.

Another one of your superb low angle shots. Not bored at all. Love the colors and smoothness in the background. Sharpness and exposure are of course excellent too. Congrats! JR

Kaus, the angles that you capture these images work our so well. Great eye level perspective, and in this, a good HA, and just love the droplets. I do also like the pastel two toned BG. Great image.

What do you say about our result yesterday, and good luck for your team against England.:w3

Like the pose, colours and eye contact Kaustubh. Lovely BG.

Gorgeous low angle and I love the head turn well done Kaustubh.

Kaustubh - great shot super angle and details. By the way good luck to England - hope they win!!!

superb low angle shot!!!!!!

Kaustubh:

Makes my recent ring necked duck post look like it was taken from a step ladder! Another low angle beauty.

Drops, BG, head angle, subtle green iridescence, all nice.

Cheers

Randy

Kaustubh, really nice. I can only echo what the others have said -- love the angle and the colors in the water and BG.

Cheers,
Greg Basco

Beautiful low angle and sharp details. Nice work!!:S3:

Kaustubh,
I think you should consider photographing ducks from a low perspective:bg3:.
The water and background are outstanding!!
The subject is well exposed, sharp. The perspective and eye contact causes a connection between viewer and subject, aways good.

For my taste, I would like to see a little more room at the bottom. You know for the virtual duck underside:w3.

Classic Kaustubh. You must live right by a duck pond...

Awesome techs and colours! A bit big in the frame for my taste though.

Lovely tech and ofcourse love that Angle..

Masterfully done, as always, Kaustubh. Gorgeous multitoned bg, water, exposure, angle and pose.
Awesome stuff.

You are the master Kaustubh! Love the perfect head turn and the water droplets. The darks could go a little darker IMO.

Thx everyone.

Stu, Jonathan, I am also following the cricket world cup with a lot of interest( although I am more of a test-match guy :-)). May the best team win.
