this is just wonderful image harshad. going away is a minus btw.. also as the bird is not on the same plane the face got little out focus compare to the wings. also little CCW rotation might require. expo is just good.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Beautiful bird and the BG works well, too. Too bad he is flying away from you and I agree regarding some CCW rotation.

[David Fletcher]

Super shot Harshad. Mital has it to a tee..:)

[Juan Aragonés]

I like the color of the wig a lot, like a flame in the air :-)
The dark sky improves the brilliant colors of the bird. I would prefer a different pose, with the bird going to you but the color and light is so good that I think the image works for me

[Ian Mason]

Lovely! I wonder if it could maybe be a bit brighter?

[Morkel Erasmus]

angle of flight has been mentioned but overall the great contrasting colours and sharpness makes up for that!

Harshad, Nice sharpness and clean BG. Agree w/ comments already given.

[Stu Bowie]

Well exposed colours, they look natural, and overall sharp too. I agree, a slight rotation will work.

[Dave Barnes]

Hi Harshad, I think the nits have been covered by others.
I might just add that I think that the colours could be just a bit over saturated?
Still an interesting image.

The colors, flying position, BG, light and sharpness are all excellent.
I just wish flying direction wasn't away from you.
