Hi Mital,

Lovely BG. The low angle and the still water with a slight ripple adds to the composition. I think the reflection is blocked by the foreground, else it would have enhanced the image further.

Look forward to more..

No nits here. A nice and clean image.

Mital,
A nice image. Clean background. The stint higher in the frame and off centre would have been great. Is there a cemented structure at the bottom? That is distracting and has blocked the reflection.

The aperture of f7.1 is adequate and covers the bird completely.

Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

the fact of the bottom is it was some sort of grey sand patch and it was wide open area and i had no plan to move as the stint was pretty close and i though if i move it could have been total failure and i might not get any images of this one so ketp it. anyways this is really good tips i should have plan a proper base next time i crawl or lay down.
