Ruddy Shelduck in flight

Hi,

Shot this one in Pune. A pair of Ruddy Shelduck arrived last week. Was experimenting with my camera settings, testing its high ISO capabilities and the freeze at higher shutter speeds.

Please critique.

Manual Exposure
Auto Focus
Manual metering
Shutter Speed 1/2500
Aperture 6.3

Thanks!

Nice image of the winter guest in flight.Colour variations of different parts are well documented.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely flight image. I liked the eye contact and the colours. A slight upward or downward position of the wings would have enhanced the composition further. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
