HI Varun
I would love to see a little more of the flower and that would also add a bit more space below the feet, which I think it needs. Otherwise a very exceptional piece of imaging! What settings did you use? Well done mate. :)

This is super, love the bg color, if theres' no cropping at 400mm u must have been very close

Hi Varun, Agree with Akos on more room for the flower but the rest of the image works for me with nice detail and head angle.

Lovely image Varun, nice colours, pose and eye contact. Agree with more room at the bottom.
