    Binu those bright Orange feet stand out really well, great detail on the bird, nice b/g to finish with.

    Terrific flight shot with extended wings, dangling feet. Good HA and nice BG. What's not to like.

    Hi Binu, love the light in this, and you have captured a great banking angle showing off the full wingspread. Overall sharp, well exposed, and I do like the greens on the head, and splayed orange feet. Killer BG. Im guessing, this is actually an incoming pose.

    Cool duck in a great position with very nice colors. The eye is just on the edge of being over powering to me.

    Wow! Killer shot Binu. What an amazing pose - wing spread, dangling feet and neat tail. Razor sharp. Perfect light, bg and eye contact. Man, you have some of the best waterfowl-in-flight shots in the business.

    Great looking flaring pose on this guy Binu. The colors and details look perfect and the BG really sets him off nicely. Love those orange feet and that yellow eye. Well done
