I like the saturated colors and the HA, Critical focus was on the shoulder leaving the head a bit soft, perch is too big and at the same time not so attractive. having the bird smaller in the frame should also help with the composition

Thanks aarash for your valuable suggestions, I agree with the composition, but regarding sharpness on head- as the bird is just came out of water so there are less details on head, the focus is on birds eye only and this shot is taken in wild and not on setup so there was no choice for me regarding the perch. Anyways thanks for all your support, next time I will surely try to be choosy about perch.
Looking for your valuable views on this.

Thanks & regards
Rahul.

Hi Raul,

can you post a 100% crop of the head?

Hopefully he will pick a better perch next time!

[rahul belsare]

Sure sir. Give me a hours time i will post the headshot as soon as i reach home.

Sorry Arash, you were right, just now i checked the image, the focus is on shoulder, by mistake i posted wrong image instead of posting the one with a correct focus on the eye.
Thanks a lot for your keen observation.
