    Nice low POV with a nice water BG.
    Exposure perfect and you have given us a lovely view of the bill.
    I am OK with not seeing the feet but do wish you had been about 2 inches higher to get a glimpse of the feet.

    Lovely light in this image. I like the clear view of the bill too. I agree with Gail re getting slightly higher. I can see repeating patterns at the bottom of the frame where you've added canvas/cloned stuff out - should be an easy fix in PP. Well done, Krishna.

    Neat looking bill on this bird. Nice framing. The detail across looks nice.

    A very drowsy bird in a good profile and well exposed.
    Would be better with feet of course. and the bottom artifacts fixed.

    I don't mind no feet if I had an open eye...

    Perfect exposure, lovely detail. Not crazy about the mixed brown/blue fore/background; a lower shooting angle would have helped softened the sand and eased the transition from brown to blue.
    Shot really needs a bit of action to make it more memorable. But what you have is perfectly executed.
