    What a wonderful bird, and what a nice image you have made of him. Looks like you were right down on the water yourself. Beautifully done, Ramesh. I might wish for a little off the bottom, and a smidge more in front if you have it.

    One great looking duck and I like the pose. May need some rotation as the left side looks higher - may be an optical effect of the ripples - I agree takeing a bit off the bottom and giving more room to the left will help. Nice detail in the whites.

    I'm unsure now! I like the original proportions as compared to the pano repost. I think moving the bird back a bit in the original may work - interested as to what more experienced eyes have to say.

    Hi Ramesh, excellent low perspective, and you have brought out superb detail on this fellow - this is tack sharp. Comp wise, I would leave both sides as in your OP, and take a quarter of both top and bottom, and try a slight CCW rotation. In your repost, you seemed to have lost some colour. I feel the colour in your OP was just fine.

    Yes I agree with Stu entirely. BTW I think this is a great shot - well done.

    Ramesh, terrific IQ...brings out all the intricate details. Nice shooting angle and BG. If mine, I'd remove the second catchlight.
