I hope I don't bore you all with this. Just 1 more to go :bg3:. By the way the blur is achieved on camera. just a round of NR on the Bg. Also Canvas extended a little at the bottom.

Another stunning image! I think I even prefer this one over the previous shot. I am not sure about the composition as I feel there is a bit too much room on the right and top IMHO.

[Melissa Groo]

This is really a spectacular shot. I agree with Ofer about the comp, can you try posting a version that is a bit cropped off top and right? I think it would better showcase this marvelous bird and capture.

[ramesh anantharaman]

Dear Ofer and Melissa,

Please do let me know if the crop works.

[Ofer Levy]

Hi Ramesh,
Here is a quick repost of your OP with the following: cropped a bit off the top and right, added a bit to the left. Quick fix of the distracting elements in the BG and a slight levels adjustment.

[ramesh anantharaman]

Thanks a lot Ofer, Love the version you have sent.

[Melissa Groo]

Ramesh, your repost was a definite improvement, but Ofer's really tops it off.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Ramesh, excellent IQ here, and I do like the landing posture. Overall well exposed, sharp, and that BG is a killer. IMHO, I prefer your OP. If the FG grass was in focus, I would have added a touch to the bottom.

[ramesh anantharaman]

Dear Stuart as I was almost at the level of the grass lying and shooting on my elbows, the FG Grass Is OOF

[RAM MALLYA]

Lovely low angle action shot Ramesh . Agree with the comment on extra space in front of the bird .

[Kiran Poonacha]
