Nice low angle. Shooting wide open lacks DOF. Could use a slight CCW rotation.

It is a beautiful bird. If it were mine, I'd have shot it at ISO800, reduced the shutter speed to 1/250 and increased the f-stop as far as I could to get that big bird entirely in focus. A bit more room around the back and front would help, but that's a matter of taste.

Not sure I have ever seen tis species before. Nice colorful duck and good job on the exposure. I do think it is too tight on the right and I agree about your choice of aperture giving you to shallow of a DOF.

A great looking bird Basri. A bit more DOF and more room behind would improve this IMO. Love the low perspective.
