    Terrific low angle shot, Mital!
    A bit over sharpened for my taste.

    I would only offer such criticism because obviously you're a talented photographer with top-notch equipment: I am distracted by the imperfections in the reflection of the duck's head. Still, it's a beautiful bird, nicely represented.

    Lovely shot, Mital. I love the low capture angle, head angle, water drops and iridescence on the head. I'll admit I might have wished the triple eye reflection weren't there, but still a beauty.

    Dear Bill and Jack,

    Thanks for your kind honest critique. i havent noticed that while processing and even while capturing. Have not even thought up to this. Being it fact that the pochards are tuffest subject in waterfowl in india to shoot specially in the region i live. Luckily i got chance to shoot at quite a nice close distance and i fired many frames with excitement.

    Will definitely keep in mind next time i am allowed to such close counter. would be an easy fix for processing but think it'll look un-natural so keeping it as is for now.

    Nice work Mital. Love the clean setting, comp and the HA. Could use a bit of CW rotation imo.

    Nice detail in the blacks Mital and like the green shine you have captured on the head.

    Wonderful shot. I really like the pose, blacks exposed real nice, excellent detail, great light, and great low angle.
    Well done.

    Excellent image Mital! I like the low angle, reflection and eye contact. I might back off the sharpening.
