Beautiful! Great composition, and the backlighting creates a nice effect. BG is really nice too. Like that in spite of the backlighting, the eye has some life to it.
I think it works! The BG is quite beautiful. I would love to see this bigger, but I have to admit that your frame takes away from the image though...
Lovely image Sudhir. Liked the rim lighting a lot. Very pleasing composition & what a BG u've got there...
Can notice a little bit of masking halo around the perch (above the brighter areas).
It is different and I liek it very much! Maybe the use of fill flash would've helped bring out some more details but as it is is great! Congratulations!
You handled this exposure extremely well and the bg is lovely. I am not very fond of backlit images overall, but for me personally backlighting works best where there is interesting texture in fur or feathers. I think I would prefer frontal lighting for this kingfisher. Still, a well-executed shot.
