Hello Basri, nice species you have posted here ! Since they are living at your farm, I would recommend taking the camera out again and try to get a lower angle of view and maybe stop down 2/3 FS to prevent the whites from getting blown - incredble species to go for it !

, Cheers, Hans

Really a good looking duck. I do like the head and eye, and they are nice and sharp. You've retained a lot of detail in the black. I wish you had been a little lower though, maybe try from waters edge. Whites are lost on the wing.

Hans has given you the same ideas that I was going to. Try to get down to the level of the bird and dial in some negative rather than positive exposure compensation to try and keep the detail in the whites.
