Beautiful Harshad... Loved the colours, expo and pose. I would prefer a more off centre placement of the subject.. nevertheless I loved the image..

[Kobus Tollig]

Nice pose and well exposed. Just watch the sharpening halos. Well done here

[Mital Patel]

Ok. this is a fantastic light and good pose and colors.
My only suggestion is to reduce the sharpness as the halos are clearly visible.

[Harshad Barve]

Hi Mital & Kobus
I too felt that this is tad oversharpned
Posting other version let me know how it looks now

[Mital Patel]

much much better now. i would suggest you to do CCW rotation 2/3%

[Harshad Barve]

Another correction Mital
Is it ok now

Hard to tell which is level.... IAC, getting much lower here, right on the ground if possible, would have provided a purer background. Love the bird and the EXP. The bill tip is farther away from the imaging sensor than the eye. Best would be for those distances to be the same so that the head would perfectly parallel the imaging sensor.

Harshad, Out of curiosity, are you a member? (Where your names appears it says "Save to Shoot" rather than BPN Member or Forum Participant.)

Dear Arthur

First of all ' Happy Birthday to you '
My image sensor was in level with neck start
Which level I should use ?

Super pose Harshad, with good exposure and colours. I would maybe move him to the right a bit, and add some space to the left, and at the bottom for the rest of the virtual legs.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, eye contact and less sharpened version looks good. Maybe a bit more room for the 'virtual feet' and I would put the bird a bit further to the right in the frame.

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful colors on the feathers. Excellent exposure.

Thank you sir. I am 63 today. And thanks for your membership support. (I learned that only members can have nicknames :))

For this image in particular, I would have gotten right down on the ground if possible, even taking the lens off any type of mount or tripod head. That would have eliminated the one and one-half brown bands in the water... It may have, however, totally changed the BKGR and thus the image....

I still see some sharpnening halos in the bill, head, neck and belly, but overall I like the pose, BG, light, detail and colors. Congratulations!
