Nice angle and side on pose. The raised feet is nice. Were you clicking from a moving boat? the background looks nice and helps in the subject popping up. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely eye contact. The raised feet makes the image more interesting. Nice clean background. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

The DoF is nice...so is the composition. The raised toe looks good..and the image is sharp But I believe you didn't need a lot of DoF here and could have done with using f5.6 too for getting more blur but again may be not! Were u using the 300f4 with TC? Wish you eliminated the reflection completely!

Hi Bhargava,
You are correct. This was shot with the 300 f/4 + 1.4x TC.
