Spotbilled Duck in flight.
This is from my first shoot in 2011.
Canon 7D; 500; ISO 400; 1/2000 sec. at f 4.5
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Love the flight pose Jagdeep, eye contact and the dark background. I've never seen these birds in person so I can't really know the colors of them but the yellow on the bill appears a bit out of gamut, I might tone down the saturation to see if that would help there. I like the orange "shield" at the base of the bill and the streak of dark brown by the eye

Great wing position and composition, Jagdeep. The bird looks a bit softer than your usual posts. :toast:

Nice sharp image. I like dark backgrounds, but I feel this one weighs down the flight and I would consider lightening it just a bit.

Perfect exposure and a powerful pose. The dark BG makes this duck stand out so well. Great image Jagdeep! :toast:
