40D. 400f5.6L at f/8. iso 400. 1/1200s( needed to freeze the head motion). evaluative - 1/3 to save the whites.

All C&C welcome.

[Jeff Dyck]

Love the eye contact here Kaustubh! Great background too. I might look at a bit more selective sharpening of the head.

[Doug Brown]

Great eye contact and a nice exposure. I like the water line on the bill. I'd bring the saturation up a bit.

[Morkel Erasmus]

love the angle, exposure and details here Kaustubh
agree on sharpening the head a tad more

gorgeous colours - good idea by Doug to boost saturation a bit

[Matthew Studebaker]

I love the background and colors in the water here. Good eye contact. I might want to see more profile on the body but nice as-is too.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful photo. Love the low angle and great exposure. Really like the pose and beautiful background. Well done.

[Dave Leroy]

Another lovely low angle shot with simple and complimentary bg.

Colours do seem a bit different from our local birds and perhaps due to local variations or light conditions.

Very nice job on saving the whites.
