Love the low angle, light, pose and reflections- as well as the BG. Nice capture, Mital.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely low angle shot. I like the interaction between the ducks as well as the colours. Well done. Dave

I like the interaction, angle and BG and would tone down the highlights. I'm not familiar with this species but it looks a bit too yellow on my monitor.

[Danny J Brown]

Very cool low angle shot, Mital. This one has a surreal quality to it that I like.

[James Salywoda]

Did you switch to Canon? Well done Mital great poses captured by both birds.

Where to find such friends Mitalbhai:);):cool:

[Mital Patel]

harshadbhai, its been year we are working together in the sanctuary and now it becomes more important to share a new find than to photograph for us. so whenever we get something from any of our window we first take 500+1.4 and take records or nice shots and change card for mine too in it ..

then we plan for better photography..
kind of 1st birdwatcher for new species and then a photographer. :)

Fantastic light and low angle, and I like the interaction!! Man, India is a bird photographer's dream...Congratulations on another lovely image!
