Thanks.

Hi Again Udaya, I like the simplicity of this image. I would definitely consider a crop from the bottom. The image quality, fine feather detail, and sharpness seem somewhat suspect to me though the larger version does look a better (but not great). Let's see what others say.

with love, artie

I first though this looked soft then i looked at your flickr link and that is pretty sharp. Must be the compression on this site. The Placement of the bird in the frame is nice.

Yes. My images are not sharp when uploading in the forum. But original image looks really sharp in my computer.
Can you help me what image size is best for this forum?

Udaya, There is a great article and discussion here. (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/143086-BPN-Posting-Size-Increase)

If you prepare your images properly, there should not be any issues with image sharpness or quality. That said, even the larger version of this image did not look great. Better but not great.

I too like the simplicity here, and also agree with a crop form the bottom. Additionally, and only to clean up the upper edge, I would clone (or whatever other tool) over the dark band creeping in along the top. I love the bird, and it placement towards the left edge. Nice clean grasses too. I looke at the Flickr link - the image looks like it is focused properly and most likely very sharp, but looks like it also needs that additional round of sharpening for web to pull out the fine detail more.
