    Hi Satish, super pose across the perch with the raised crest. Its amazing to see the clear cut line where the two colours of the plumage meet between the head and body. Nice smooth BG too.

    Satish - very nice detail and colors throughout. I see a bit of artifacts (not sure if that's exactly what they are called) at the juncture between the top of the tail and the background. I would consider a pass of NR on the background as well.

    Very nice capture Satish, agree on those marks near the tail, caused by edge selection I think.

    Satish:

    Lovely little bird, good pose, well exposed. Still a bit of noise showing in the BG, not bad.

    To my eye, the back is just a bit sharper than the head, so perhaps a sliver more sharpening on the head.

    Cheers

    Love the pose, eye contact, head turn and the colours of the bird. The erect crest is a great touch. I just noticed that the background has a spot on the left top corner which is nicely matching the colours of the bird.
    Great work, Satish.

    This is beautiful, Satish. I love the pose and look the bird is giving you. The background is a lovely complementary color and all looks sharp and well exposed.

    Very nice image. Noise control is excellent considering you are at an ISO of 2000 ( or is that a typo?)Agree on another round of NR in BG.
    I like the colors in the BG and the HA.
    I wish the perch was a bit smaller but really like the diagonal line it creates.

    Lovely bird! Excellent pose and the lighting is soft and easy on the eyes.
    A definite need for more selective NR on the background, otherwise, really
    like it.

    Wow, this is a special looking FC! nice look-back pose, sharpnes, light and BG. My only wish is for a smaller diameter perch but I can take it as is!

    nice pose, good details and the soft light is a plus. I agree with more NR on the BG.
