Sanjeev:

Effective dof for such a close shot. Great eye contact. Good show of the green iridescence on the head.
I might try to soften the dark area in the bg just in front of the head.

I might also try a minor adjustment in the color temp to warm it up just a sliver.

Cheers

Randy

Great details and colors. Love the little bit of feather in the duck's beak. Your composition works well!

Hi Sanjeev, I remember you telling us that you visited this Park. Great close up, and perfect focus on the head. I do like the greens on the head, and at first, I thought there was a bit of water spouting out his beak, but its a feather.

Lovely closeup! Sharp, great soft light -- I love it!
