Hi Krishna,
Nice sharpness and colors on the bird. The flash worked well IMO. Wish I could get this this close to these beauties.

Nice one Krishna. I love the complementary colors of the bird and the water. Good eye contact. Image looks like it could use some clockwise rotation. Also the bird is too yellow.

Ah, quasi fill flash. She is definitely swimming a bit uphill. I love the great look at the colors on her back.

with love and thanks to my Nikon mentor :)
