I think it is a well-observed image, Krishna.
I would have liked a bit less space on the left and more on the right - not much but just enough to re-balance it. The water looks a little bit pale but I think that makes it a good backdrop for the bird.

Thank you for the comments Mike.

Avocet is one of my favorite bird! Very nice and sharp, Krishna but I am also wishing for more on the right hand side, just a little bit.

Hi Adhika,

Thank you for the comments. I wish I had framed the bird a bit left in the frame.

This is un-cropped image and I could add a little bit of canvas. I will do it and repost it again.

Thanks
Krishna

Reposting the image.

Adding canvas to the left of the image.

Nice reflection and colours. Good feeding pose, but bummer its body was not angled more towards you. Careful with the clone mark touching the leg. Sharp and well exposed image.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the review. Can you let me know details on "Careful with the clone mark touching the leg" ?

Thanks

Next to the knee on the rear leg is what looks like a circle of water ripples - it looks like you cloned out a flaw in the original image and the program picked up a bit of the water ripples to cover it with.
I hadn't noticed it until Dan mentioned it...

Thank you for mentioning it. I missed it

I corrected it.
