I like the setting, wing position and sweet BG. It would be better if the bird wasn't flying away from you but what can you do. Nice image Ritesh.

Hi Ritesh, good wing position, with lovely earthy colours. The Pintail is nicely separated from the BG, and agree, having been at least parallel to you would have put this up a few notches.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Looks like you had a nice pose and good BG, too bad it was landing angled away from you. Looks like there may be some processing artefatcs from the feet to the right edge of the frame.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
I really like the comp here, excellent wing position, and light does not look to bad.
Angle of the duck already mentioned. Other than that...great shot.
Well done.

Ritesh,
Beautiful landing pose with full wings up ,you have captured.Beautiful colors,nice eye contact and composition.
Beside artifact mentioned by Daniel Sir, I could see halo around neck on my monitor,may be sharpening effect.
