nice looking pose, I like the frozen motion, the water droplets and iridescence on the wing. You've got a sharpening halo on top of the bird pretty much from bill to tail, but that is probably pretty easily fixed.

Jagdeep,
What a great image! I have never seen this duck before. Wonderful colors through out the image. I especially like the water droplets.

Jagdeep,

Great action, background, flying water droplets, iridescence & light!

I can see a sharpening halo, but that should be easy to fix.

Really a very interesting image & duck species.

The timing of this shot is wonderful and the coloration of the feathers in this duck are delightful. Well done Jagdeep.
