Common species..but I liked the pose. Does this comp work? Or should the duck be centered or towards left of the center. Found that a little tricky. Wishing the duck wasn't angled away but HA ain't too bad, I suppose.
Kaustubh, I like the pose and the BG colors are lovely. The strip of color at the top adds interest. I do wish the eye were more open but it is still very nice as presented.:)
Interesting pose but agree it makes for a tricky composition.
I agree with your choice to place the bird on the right rather than on the left but, for my taste, maybe slightly higher in the frame and a tiny bit further to the right than presented. Another possibility that would work for me would be a tight crop with the bird centered.
Hi, Kaustubh. I agree with the other comments so far. Love that BG, nice and smooth but some interest too. Since the head is angling back toward the left, I think your placement of the bird toward the right is just fine.
Hey Kaus, I would leave the comp as is, and if the upper BG was all blue, I would have cropped off a but. As there is that lovely pastel colour there, just perfecto.
