I could not get the light in eye as it was a very cloudy day and I had no time to ask these ducks to pose for me :-)

Hope you enjoy this...

Good looking duck, you might be able to bring out the dark areas in PS. Shadows and highlights.

Even on bright days, the brant eye is hard to highlight. Daybreak and sunset hours are best. Something about the angle of the light.

This isn't bad considering the circumstances Sachin. Rather that worrying about a catchlight concentrate more on leveling the horizon. Then add a catchlight in photoshop ;)
Brants are geese by the way

Thanks Chuck!

The horizon was like that as it was a slope near the shore...on suggestion in one of the comments above I tried to Fill Light and I could take out the details. I will post that shot soon.
And lastly I am not good with the ID of birds so thanks for the info :-)
