    Indranil, I like the framing. I do wish the wings were in a better position. You did a good job with the sharpness. I like the dangling feet.

    Indranil:

    Such fun ducks, and you do have to love those big pink feet.

    I like the framing, water drops,slight angle in frame.

    I do agree with Denise about a different wing position (I would prefer full back) would make the image a bit stronger. You did however get good separation of the head.

    Pleasure meeting you and shooting with you.

    cheers

    Randy

    Wing back or forward seems to be strongly preferred in this type of landing images. Nice head angle, exposure and background. Best, JR

    Very nice shot, Indranil, especailly like the feet and the water drops below. I suppose a different wing position could be better, but I don't mind this one. Maybe because I have so many with the same It was really nice meeting you at the IPT, hope to get the chance again.
