    Lovely lady, in great light. Your presentation is beautiful with the calm water and low angle. (There's a tiny white fleck above the tail that caught my eye, I'd get rid of it...)

    Perfect low angle Kiranbhai, and love the eye contact. I like the soft light, and the drooling water from the beak adds interest. That water is really calm.

    Excellent shot in great great light. Love the low angle, the calm water and the bg. Most of all I love how perfectly the bird is lit. The detail must be incredible in raw?
    I defer to your expert judgment here, but the duck looks kinda centered to my newbie eyes.

    Cool light, angle, sharpness, pose and the drinking behavior makes it even stronger. If anything, I might crop a tad off either the top or bottom.

    Kiran. Comp is excellent. So is the light, low angle, sharpness, DOF and the drinking pose. Its not always possible to get this head angle in this pose....good careful attention paid here. Well done.

    Kiran, The low angle and the still water add so much to this. Love the pose and the drinking action. Beautifully done.
