This one's a nice image with green habitat around..good composition too. However, seeing the exif data, it doesn't appear as sharp and detailed as it has to be at the settings you used:) A large crop?

The opening in the bill is clearly seen. May these birds continue to thrive in our ponds and fields. How much crop? Which focusing point did you use?

Cheers,

This is cropped from top & right(about 30 pc).I usually use the central focus point,recompose the image after having the focus locked on desired area.Thanks.
