    Mital:

    Nice fully extended flap here, the angle in the frame allows detail of both dorsal and ventral surface to show on wings, but still keeps the head clear of a merge.

    Sharp.

    On my work monitor, the whites on the near wing look a bit hot, but it is my old backup and not reliable for white calls.

    Like the tail up too.

    Cheers

    Randy

    thanks randy. this days i am much more dependent on the histo trying to understand still and make changes based on histo though i have claibrated my Dell laptop through Spyder Elite am not sure because spyder shows the gamma clipped on sRGB profile and show below the suggest or inside the suggested triangle.

    thanks for the quick comment. friends please put some light on this with what randy has suggested to i can make correction to my workflow as well on what to rely. :)

    Mital, I love the full wing flap, great HA and detail. My machine (PS Elements) shows the brightest whites at 250 in one small spot, otherwise high 140's. Not clipped technically, but I don't know if you might pull out a tiny bit more detail by scaling back just a tad.

    Very nice pose and wing position. I like the sharpness and colors, water looks fine. Well done.

    This is a wonderful action shot. Good call on the f8. Perfect HA and overall position of the bird.

    Not the best looking Shoveler as its in transition plumage but a great wing flap captured Mital.

    Mital, the exposure looks great on my screen, and the pose and sharpness are top-notch.

    Cheers,

    Default nice detail

    Mital bhai,

    Nice detail and low angle.

    I just a tad brighter and low on contrast than what I would personally like.
