Sweet shot, with beautiful colors, nice BG and a great prey.
Another great shot following on from the previous lizard one. Being picky, a less lumpy, more interesting perch would improve the shot. Is the perch supplied or natural?
How cool! Excellent prey item. Good profile pose, and great colours. So-so perch, and I am not in love with the upper left corner, but overall the image works very well!
Beautiful bird, nicely shown. Vivid colors, as Dan wrote " cool prey item". I might try opening the shadows a bit, without trying and looking at the image hard to tell if it would improve the image. Thank you for sharing, Sanjeev.
Agreed with all the comments above. Beautiful shot and well spotted!
Looks great overall. Like the prey item of course. The perch i dont' mind. Neat looking bird.
Looks good to me Sanjeev, I don't mind the imperfections, it looks like nature is to me. you could lift the darker area around the primaries a teeny weeny bit and just a little more DOF wouldn't go amiss but I like it as it is.
this one is the best of the series, love everything but the perch and wish you had posted this one larger
