Lovely portrait Satish. Wonderful BG, great pose. I could see another comp with the bird lower and more to the left in the frame, but still very nice as presented.

Hi Satish, good exposure on this fellow, sharp, and I like the comp as is. Im fine with the OOF grasses in the BG, and there is a strong sharpening halo around the bird.

Hi Satish

Hey this is really nice; probably your best frame yet. Tack sharp and well exposed.
Agree with it being just a little high in the frame. TFS

I like the bird sitting higher in the frame and thus like the comp as is, but subjective of course. The grass blades in the BG add some interest, and you've done a great job with the blacks (the overcast light does wonders to blacks)

Well exposed, nice details and pose. I like the placement of the perch and the BG including the oof grasses.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for your kind comments and suggestions.
