My first posting in the forum. Hoping that I have read out all the rules and am not breaking any. I am from India, currently residing in San Jose, California for an assignment. The image is taken at Shoreline Park, Mountainview, California.

Excellent image Love the pose, wing postion, direct eye contact and warm light. Sure wish you could have had a better sun angle to illuminate the duck evenly. I know side light can be dramatic and work in your favor at times.
As presented you can tweak the front of the duck and lighten a bit. I like how you cut the reflection since it was not strong and left extra room up front. I like it a lot Looking forward to more fine images !!!
Welcome to the BPN family,
I like your composition. I like the raised wing position and the details. Very good advise given by Mr. Forns...Looking forward to your next capture...:cool:
