Exposure looks good, but the OOF branches in the BG are somewhat distracting. I'd also crop some off the top.
Nice exposure control and details. I would prefer a lower angle and better head angle. The branches in the BG are not too distracting for my taste.
Hi Sid,
I like your composition here. It would have been better if the head angle were looking at you. In addition, the fused out branches in the background and especially the ones touching your bird are distracting...:eek:... I would clone them all out and use the nice pale blue sky as you natural backdrop...:D
Nice exposure and detail! agree about the branches and there seems to be some noise in the background.
