The reflection is nice. Wish it was looking a bit more away from you. A low angle would have been great (if you could get down from the jeep). The ripples in the water are nice. Thanks for sharing.

Like the composition and the reflection. I think the focus seems to be slightly behind the brahminy duck. It often happens when you try to focus on the small narrow neck or head. You can check the focus point in DPP or zoombrowser.

Cheers,

The composition is nice. Agree that a lower angle would have been better. The colours in the image are nice. Now that Sabyasachi mentions it I noticed the Focus point may be off a bit as he suggested. Do check that out. Thanks for sharing.
