Great angle, poses, calm water and BG. I might crop a bit off the left and bottom to get the birds out of the center.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Wonderful capture Mital. Agree with Axel's suggestions. Loved the reflection too.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Nice one. I like the low angle. Is this a big crop? I agree with Axel's crop suggestion.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wow Mital - what a unique shot. I love these guys. Axel's words of wisdom will take this one a little further to the top.

The angle , DOF, colours , behaviour all work here !!

Beautiful composition, Mital. Like the low angle and the cool pose. fg and bg OOF adds a lot to the image. Another vote for taking a bit of the front.
