Protect the cause of our own existence
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.
Dear Tom and Ron,
I am putting in a re-post with Suggestions Implemented. Pls do let me know if it works.
warm regards
Ramesh

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.
Great angle, sharpness detail and colours, Ramesh.
Ramesh, terrific IQ...brings out all the intricate details. Nice shooting angle and BG. If mine, I'd remove the second catchlight.
Nice deep shooting position in front of a perfect backdground.
