Wow... This is one wild looking waterfowl! I'm viewing from a laptop so the monitor may be throwing me off, but it looks like the whites are a little hot. I would clone out the bright spots on the left which draw attention away from the bird. Good detail in the blacks and sharp focus on the eye Majed. It's always a challenge to get detail in the blacks without cooking the whites on a subject like this one... nice first post and terrific effort. :)
