    Great take off shot. Excellent detail, Colors and nice forward wing position.
    The background looks nice and the few water droplets add interest.

    Simply beautiful. The canvas suites my eyes just fine, it really puts this guy on display. Love the pose and details in the bird and the slight blur in the wing tips. What I really like are the blue feathers being displayed in the wing position. Nice.

    WOW! Stuning colors and details. The wing position is just perfect!

    Superb flight image with great BG, detail and exposure on the subject. Shark as tack!

    A super shot I would suggest lowering the brightness a tad or slightly increasing contrast or a tiny bit of selective colour. I think the image lacks a little pop.

    Killer frame Binu. This is my favorite flight pose and beautiful plumage on this guy. Gorgeous BG too. Comp comes down to personal preferences, but I'd crop from the top a bit. A more pano comp would suit this pose I think. Superb work as always Binu.

    Beautiful capture of the colours of this duck. Tack sharp and excellent IQ. Wish it were mine.

    Fantastic flight pose!! Such dynamics and power. Nice details, great colours, and the BG rocks.

    One of the best flight shots of this species I've ever seen. That wing pose is killer!

    Great looking frame of one of my favorite ducks to shoot. They have so much color and those lit speculums are always awesome to get. Nice pose with the forward wing position and the water streaming behind. What a killer BG too.
    I agree with Sid on the comp and would take some off of the top and create more of a pano. Well done Binu.
