Love the colours here in the water. Really sets the mood. Maybe a little fill flash on the duck (?). Love the shot, though.

I really like the feel of this image although like Leigh I think the bird could use a bit of brightening but I think had you used fill flash it may have eliminated the look you captured in the water. I suspect you can brighten the bird in ACR or Photoshop ... I would also rotate the image a few degrees clockwise.

Nice mood to this image and as already mentioned, some fill flash would make the bird stand out. Image needs to
be leveled clockwise.

Great image.. I would either lighten the bird or better go for a Silhouette

Arabinda, very nice profile pose and I love the colors and the magical mood created by the dancing, reflecting lights! They glow when I click for dark backdrop, looks pretty neat.
