    I love your background and how the colors all work together. Super head angle and excellent exposure and details.

    Hi Satish, one of your best IMHO. Love the soft light, well exposed on the blacks, and good pose and HA to round this off. That BG is tops. Well captured.

    Fantastic! I love the overcast light here...perfect for the black plumage. Great HA. BG and perch look good too. I would personally remove the two faint streaks directly in front of the head as they do not add much to the image. very well done Satish!

    Stunning capture Satish. Weather added different mood in image. I liked few drops on birds chest, details, head angle, perch and BG. Great job and TFS.

    Daniel,
    Faint streaks are rains,which are horizontal because of high wind in the direction of bird.I wanted to make them prominent but could not.In other they are diagonal and many are there.However I will remove them,as it overcast lights gives the feel of rain.
    Regards,
    Satish.
