    Very nice Satish; great BG, not a duck I have seen before. Like the composition and nice pop from the BG!

    Great shooting angle nice eye contact and nice upwing position, Satish.
    I seem to notice some noise in the background.

    Wonderful colors, comp, sharpness and wing extension. Another round of NR on BG only might be good, as pointed out by Karl.

    Hi Satish, good take off pose with the raised wings, and overall nice and sharp. The duck is separated from the BG very well, and agree, a touch of NR on the BG wont harm the image.

    Awesome. Love the background definition you achieved here...I'm having a 3D experience
    while viewing this. Sharp details and excellent lighting on the subject.

    Dear Members,
    Thank you all for your kind comments, critiques and suggestions.
    I am improving a lot with your kind suggestions though having basic camera model with limitations.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Satish, I like the repost a bit more than the original. Either way, both have a solid and sharp subject. The wing angle is just right!
