Pied Bushchat: Male.

This Image was created two days back in cloudy morning. Cropped for composition and sharpened.

ISO: 800, 1/400 @ F: 5.6.Evaluating metering.Manual mode.
WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Hi Satish, lovely angled pose, and overall, I find this sharpened perfectly. Good exposure on this dark fellow - the finer detail shows up very well. Great BG too.

Hi Satish,
Pretty little bird. Good body position and HA. Is there normally a purple hue to the feathers?
The image ( especially the BG and branch) is oversaturated for my taste. There seems to be a lot of noise in the BG at the top of the frame. Would definitely address these issues.

Great image Satish, with a terrific OOF BG and great sharpness and light. I too detect a slight magenta cast. I don't know what color the bird is, but the branch seems to have a slight cast as well. Easily fixed if so. Agree with the noise at the very top. You might consider cropping a little off the top which would help address the noise.

Real nice job on the exposure. Nice BG. Cool little bird.

Great detail and an interesting perch with a nice clean bg. I too am seeing some noise in upper area of bg

Nice pose, great details and just the right sharpness, Satish. Love the background too.

Wonderful shot.
Excellent pose and perch.
Lovely background and great details.
Well done.

Thank you all for your feed back and comments.

Regards,
Satish.

Thanks a lot Dennis for the comments.
Fully grown bird is almost jet black in colors,others are generally black or brownish blacks,while female has different plumage.I will post shortly.

Satish.

Very nice image and good exposure Satish.

Repost looks excellent!

Excellent exposure, Satish, with rich details in the blacks. Very nice eye contact and bg. Repost addresses the issues with the OP. Very nice!

Very nice job on the exposure on this one Satish. Pose and HA are very nice too. Well done

I like the re-post better. I would have cleaned up the face a bit. The perch is not that attractive but the bird is sharp, perfect pose and is nicely exposed.

Beautiful portrait, great pose and colors.
