    Hi Satish - I like the choice for a vertical on this one. The focus seems to be on the wings a bit, so I might consider sharpening the head a tad. The head angle isn't the best, but there isn't much you could do about that. Also, the background looks a bit 'pixelated' (for lack of a better word). I don't think it's grain or noise, as much as it might be something in the conversion process? Not sure, maybe someone can chime it.

    Hi Satish,
    The repost is better re:BG.
    I find the head to bit a bit soft and wish for more of a head turn.
    The perch is very unusual. I would clone out the little ?bug in front of perch on left,
    Gail

    Agree with you and Miguel about head turn and sharpening it bit more,somehow forgot it in repost.
    Same thing happened with OOF leaf on the left side of perch.In future I will be careful.
    Thanks for the kind comments.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Hi Satish, good choice of comp as it suits the pose and perch. F/7.1 should have the whole bird in the DOF range, so the softness of the head must be a bit of motion blur. His food item a plus.
