Farhad--Wow --thats some orange color you have there. I can visualize endless possibilities using it for different comps. I assume the dirt and rocks are all this color? 'm thinking it doesn't help this particular bird here but with other colored birds---say green or blue to purple you could cash in on some strong complimentary color schemes. This one as is needs a different crop maybe eliminating the lower right corner OOF rocks. Here, because the bird is not all that fancy, you would need some strong comp elements to help carry the load say in your bg, fg, or just a different body pose--perhaps wing spread or something like that. Does this bird show any colors in his back ever at different angles.

You can't beat that background color, very eye catching. I do agree with Paul, there is probably lots of possibilities for you. I wish the tail feather was not oof, but I like that the bird is looking slightly toward you.

awesome colors and as Paul said endless possibilities

Thanks for sharing first of all and I am intrigued by the BG color. The contrast between the bird and the BG makes it stand out. The crop is great too... All in all a very good shot.

BTW, what was the back ground?

Hi
Thank you so much for your comments , there is no increasing in BG saturaton , its because of the kind and color of dirts and rock in there . i have some other shots with different pose but like this one more . agree to remove the OOF rock in lower right corner ,some kind of catchin eyes toward it .

Thanks
