The lighting makes it extra special and Mrs Mallrd is displayed to great effect with such lovely clarity of her feathers.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Beautiful work in controlling some difficult lighting conditions, Raj. The lighting is excellent as is the detail...especially in the feathers. I like the butt end motion blur as the happy duck plunges into the water. Gorgeous work although I would have cropped a drop more off the right. Centered subjects make my teeth hurt.

Make me hungry for roasted duck, Raj.
Lighting and shadows are well done.

Looks like a happy duck. Love the detail on the feathers & the slight motion blur on the tail. Excellent capture, Raj.

It is a lovely shot, good lighting and great detail. I do agree with Roger re a crop in from the right border, almost to the tall flowers. The duck is on a slight left angle with head turned to the left, and should generally have twice the space in front (direction of gaze) than that to the rear. While it is a compositional teaching, there are always exceptions, and because of the duck's close proximity I don't think there's anything to be gained here. It's more of an "Up close and personal" image situation.
