Ishmeet bhai,

Excellent speciment of birdie and that about to lift pose.
I find the sharpness overdone.

Liked the sepia tones of bg. May be chopping off from right say about an inch will be good and adding same space to left.

[Ben_Sadd]

Nice looking bird, but definitely over sharpened. I agree on shifting the bird to the right in the frame.

It may be natural, as you haven't mentioned using flash, but I would like to see the strong second catchlight toned down or removed.

[Alan Murphy]

Womderful detail. The bird is a bit centered and I wish for a head turn.

[Bob Pelkey]

Very well exposed. Would like to see this cropped to a square.

Beautiful image with lovely colours I love the pose too here , the sharpness seems to be overdone

[RAM MALLYA]

Awesome image , Agree on everybody's comment on placing the bird on the right of the frame and wished for better HA .

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree with the agressive sharpening, comp suggestion, and need for a better HA. Nice colours, great perch and beautiful BG.

[Ishmeet Sahni]

Thank you guys for your comments, much apreciated. Will repost a corrected image in a day or so.

The pitta does look OS and the compo is a centred one . Placing it to the right would enhance this one !!

[Ishmeet Sahni]

I am reposting the image after reducing the SHARPENING and changing the crop. However, I have not been able to do justice to the
cloning that I did to stretch the canvas. I will be redoing the image completely, but just wanted to repost the corrections to know if it works
this way.:S3:
