A great shot.
I love the color palette and the light.
I would move the bird a bit further back to the left in the frame if you have the canvas.

Beautiful image. Great wing position and light. Also really like the BG. Agree with Gail in terms of positioning. TFS

Great looking image, soft muted colours and a bird that looks spot on.Think Gail might have a point but I still thinks it's great as posted.

Excellent colour and backdrop and foreground. I think the bird a bit to the left would improve a fine image.

Wonderful landing pose and killer light. Love FG and BG. Is perfect for me.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose and setting Prasanna. I really like the grass at the bottom of the frame and the beautiful oof bg.
I'd move the bird a bit to the left.
I haven't seen this bird in real life, so take this with a pinch of sale, but it looks a tad high on saturation.
TFS and keep them coming.

Beautiful image Prasanna! I like the light, pose, colours, setting and exposure. I agree with Gail's composition suggestion.

Thanks a lot Gail and all my other friends.
Posting this with the suggested crop.
Siddarth, have pulled the saturation down a bit.
Thanks
prasanna.

lovely light, pose and details. excellent display of habitat too. I'd put more space on the right (3:2 aspect ration would improve this)

[mohammad reza shahab]

Great wing position and light.nice color and detail.

[Ashleigh Scully]

I like the less saturated version and the composition is better than the first one. Great detail on the wings and the light is beautiful!
