Interesting fluffed up pose...I imagine it was preening? I do wish the bill tip did not merge with the feathers. The face seems a bit soft compared to other areas (e.g. shoulder) - perhaps a bit more selective sharpening would bring it up to par. There is also a darkish halo atop the fluffed feathers, perhaps caused by some burning spilled onto the BG? Good, although dirty, perch and a nice BG.
I like the angle, light, BG and fluffed-up preening pose. Did you add the catchlight? BTW, I like your avatar. :)
Hi all thanks for the comment. The halo effect is may be due to shadow & highlight tool... I have brighten up the eye a bit. Haven't add any catch light... :)
You can avoid the halo if you apply curves in your RAW file. That way you don't have to use S/H or alternatively select the bird only before using S/H.Quote:

Hi Trivedi
I don't mind the room on the left but maybe a little more room on the bottom would help, and of course a little more head turn. Having said that, a very interesting image.
