Black bellied whistling duck pair

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

40D. 400 f5.6L at f/7.1. iso 400. 1/1000s.

Light angle not the most ideal but I guess its not too bad. Moving to the left was not possible. I have a few from a little lower angle but I dont like the bank intersecting the head in those. Would have liked to get a water-level shot but was not possible as I was on higher ground.

All C&C welcome.

You certainly got their attention. :) I like the poses, eye contact, angle and the that the shoreline is above the heads. I might sharpen the birds a bit more.

loved the eye contact of both beautiful looking ducks, Nice angle and light too... nicely done

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice juxtaposition of the birds, that could be a little sharper as Axel mentions. I'd also tame the highlights a bit. Thanks for sharing, KD. Angle is fine with me since it show the pretty green band on top.

Kaustubh, I like the two ducks and the way you chose to frame them. I think you already got some good suggestions. Nicely done.

Nicely captured pair with good HA and I like the soft green on the bank in the bg. Nice to see that a lower angle (which isn't always possible) isn't necessarily the best.
