    Nice takeoff pose, eye contact and BG. I would sharpen the bird more and run NR on the BG.

    Very nice capture, fresh ot of the water, with neat BG and wings position. Another vote for slightly more sharpening, not much. TFS, KD.

    Great use of warm light....really makes the colors pop. Slight NR would help.

    Kaustubh, beautiful take-off pose and the water really adds to this image. Agree on just a tad more sharpening :)

    Very nice light and wing position, sharp eye. The water drop on the belly just adds to the story. Very nice Kaustubh!

    Nice shot! Lovely light and pose. Maybe a tiny bit more sharpening.

    Great take off posture Kaustubh, and the mallard stands out so well against that lovely blue water BG. Sharpening already mentioned.

    Wonderful pose. Is that a drop of water at the back of the belly?

    Yes, looks like it is. Funny thing is...I had not noticed it until folks here mentioned.
