Nice shot. Ducks are one of my favorite subjects and I like to see ducks from other places that I have never seen before. This one is very handsome.

Nice detail and angle on the duck, Basri.

Beautiful duck. I think this is the first photo from this new Canon body that I have seen. You framed this a bit tight on the tail end, but much better than centering the subject. I question the settings somewhat, wondering if such a high iso was needed. The tail is a bit soft, so maybe a little more dof.

Beautiful Pintail Basri, nice colors and details with the complimentary color scheme a plus.
Good job controlling the whites in this light as well. I probably would not have used your settings, & a bit more room behind would be better IMHO.
Handsome dude
