    Beautiful shot, well exposed and sharp, I would suggest a little more contrast or selective colour to make it pop a bit more. Maybe consider a little noise reduction.

    Wonderful low angle image with an appealing subject pose. Head angle is perfect. I also like how you handled
    the foreground presentation here. I like the idea of boosting the contrast a bit just for a little more punch...try selectively
    doing it, just on the subject maybe...Also agree with suggestion of NR being applied, as the noise is prominent in the
    background...great light quality too btw.

    Very nice image Satish. Really like the left leg is up. I agree with Jonathan and Shawn about the contrast and definitely about the noise reduction in the bg.

    Fantastic angle and pose. More contrast and NR would make this image even better. Great looking image Satish.

    Well Exposed , sharp nice details, My favorite bird but very difficult to get close to . Adding some contrast and another round of NR will definitely help

    Satish:

    Well captured, nice pose, angle. Good comments from above, particularly about the contrast, the bird looks a bit flat. Should be easy to tune it up a bit.

    Cheers

    Great pose of a beautiful bird. Everything looks good except for the washed out look. Bump up sat and cont and this image will look great. Nice comp too.
