Made some shots of this beauty last sunday

Beautiful bird. Well composed image with a great BG. Some real nice light.. Looks like diffused sun?

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thanks Robert, yes the sun was diffused by a thin layer of cloud...

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Kiran, excellent colors, sharpness, exposure, clean BG and head angle. If you have more room there, would love to see a tad on top.

[Doug Brown]

The bird looks great; perfectly exposed and very sharp. I'd like a bit more canvas up top and on the left.

[Arthur Morris]

Killer bird, pose, and head angle. You are getting even better! Love the tiny bit of grass.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragment and Sure Guruji, I vow all the improvements to BPN.

@ Doug Bhai and KD Bhai: at first I added some canvas around but removed it thinking it was too much, I have posted this one with more canvas around. Hope it looks ok...

Thanks agian,

Regards,

Kiran

Love it, and agree with Artie about the little grass.
Excellent colors, perfect pose, HA...

Both compos work for me, the second would be my choice for a print. Perfect in every way, down to the little puff of grass, congrats!
