"On the Rocks"

Spot Billed Duck shot at Lotus Pond last weekend.

Exif :
Canon EOS 7D
70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Tv 1/1600
Av 5.6
ISO Speed 400
Focal Length 300.0mm

30% cropped.

Nice composition. Nice BG as well. The highlights on the rock look well-controlled. There is some tilt to the image, you might lose some valuable space at the right when you correct it (unless there is more space in the original image).

Yes Abhishek, there is more space and will post the changes again.

Thanks for the input.

Agree with Abhishek. Also, why f5.6 when the shutter speed is 1/1600? Even f10 would have given the required shutter speed. Hoping to get a flight shot if the bird took off?:)

Technique is different for different people. It is important that you click a given situation at different shutter speeds to find out your comfort level in terms of shutter speed.

I agree with the composition. The hedge with its colour has come out well. Thanks for sharing.
