    This is beautiful! Love the pose, the low angle, the fine feather detail and that flash of green.

    This is a terrific capture of this gorgeous duck! You brought out the colors and details so well. Getting down low was very helpful here. The turn back pose is a plus here.

    Beautiful capture with nice light, bkgd, perfect HA. I would move the bird a fraction to the left, as I find him to be too central in the frame. Would also reduce the highlight in the eye slightly in size.

    I like the low angle, pose and BG. I would move the bird to the left as well. Well done Girish!

    the best i've seen so far such a close image from our part Bhai.
    Now that you have got already a cracker here is my suggestion.

    1. i see slight CW rotation.
    2. say 10% eliminations from left and same to be added to right ?
    3. may be shadow opening and some contrast boost ?

    will work on this and let ya know tom.

    cheers

    Wow....beautiful shot of such a small and pretty duck. Look back pose, the far wing, legs....all add that something extra. Well done.

    agree with comp. suggestions above.
