Beautiful image design, BG and IQ. Great job on the depth of field too, Ramesh. Can't think of anything I woudl change.

A beautiful image I love the pose and the perch...and the background. It is a very engaging image and it quite rightly demands attention.

I really like the soft look of this.
At first I thought it need more contrast, but the more I look, the better I like it,
Nice perch and pose.

Hi Ramesh, super comp and pose, and I like the detail on the Kestrel. I do like the BG, and would like to see how this looks with a touch more contrast. :w3

[ramesh anantharaman]

Just increased the contrast as suggested by Stuart. Do let me know if ok....
