Nice looking back pose and nice colourful background, Satish. IQ is pretty good.

Nice green BG and perch. Wish the bird were giving you a little more face, and wish the face were a little sharper. I'd probably be tempted to tone down the white on the right.

Hi Satish, good feather detail on the wing, sharp in that area, and agree, a better HA would have been good. Lovely smooth BG, and yes, blending in the lighter area URC wont harm the image. :w3

While I like the comp and the BG and simple diagonal perch,I am not loving this one Satish.
The image looks noisy and a tad oversharpened on the back but a bit soft on the head . I wonder why you were at such a high ISO and a SS of 1/4000. I think the IQ would have been greatly improved if you had been at ISO 800 and SS 1/2000.
I also see a magenta cast in the image.

Lovely simplistic composition Satish, I like how he's perching on the very top of the stick, the head does look a little soft compared to the rest of the body, maybe slightly misfocused ? I'd be inclined to smooth out the brighter area in the backdrop on the upper right corner

I do like the diagonal perch, the birds pose and green bg but have to agree about the soft head and I think I see noise on the body as well.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for the feed back.
Noise noted.Agree about head turn.
Gail:
Setting I had for another bird flying around another perch.Suddenly this wagtail came and sat on another perch and I did not get time to change the setting.

Regards,
Satish.

nice one Satish,like thepose and BG,agree on blending the URHC,and the head is a little softer than the body.

I like how prominently the claws show in this image. You received some great feedback from
everybody already, and I tend to agree with most of it....particularly blending out the right
upper corner.

Nice green BG and perch.
