Absolutely love the separation in reflections and details in shadows. The tones are great and a square crop is working fine.
Thanks for sharing sir.

Love the low key effect and softness in the image.

Very fine tuned! I like the atmosphere, even the coot looks happy.

Love the way the water and beak are rendered. Low key works wonderfully. The body part I was able to see wonderful faint feather details on other monitors. But on my calibrated monitor they are black. (But I have set my monitor brightness to min level 75 nits to enable satisfactory printing)

Ganesh, Curious to know your thoughts behind sharing this image. It looks very simple and straightforward. Or am I missing something to notice?

Incredible shadow details n lowkey presentation!, Ganesh.
Regards.

Adithya, I loved the delicious subtle lighting and the tonal range.
