Jagdeep, I love the action shot and the flying water! Light and exposure both look real good, but it looks like the focus point may have been mmore opn the chest to me (but could be my cruddy work monitor also). I might have gone with ISO 4000 though to get more stop to this.

Jagdeep this is done very well!! The exposure and BG are terrific, but the spray makes this for me.

Really nice action shot. Good comp, and excellent exposure from what I can see. Beautiful bird as well.

Jagdeep,

I love the splashing water, the rich tones in the background and the take off pose of the bird. Thanks for providing the larger image, it makes it much nicer for savoring the details.

I can see a thin, light halo near some of the darker areas of the bird's plumage, those halos should be easy to fix.

Nice action shot of a species I would love to see.

I like the explosive moment of take off you've captured here Jagdeep. Wonderful detail in the combducks white breast and a very pleasing perspective. I like this a lot.

Excellent capture. Love the water spray and the water drops on the body
