    Satish:

    Lovely little fellow,well exposed, sharp on the head. I like the arching reed perch. I can see some subtle remnants of the clone work, most noticeable at the junction with the top of the neck, but good job overall on the removal.

    A bit more DOF would have been nice for more of the bird to be in focus. The comp works for me.

    Cheers

    Satish, beautiful image.

    I love the color play between the bg and the bird. The head angle and stare are right on. The focus is nailed perfectly.

    Like Randy mentioned, it would have been nice to have a bit more dof. With that said, you go the right focus with this narrow dof. TFS!

    Hi Satish, love the leaning pose, and very well exposed, especially on the head. Comp and BG both work well, and good job with the repost.

    Agree about dof, but I don't really mind it as is, the re post has made this extra good Satish, very good editing. Loving the light and sheen showing on the feathers, wonderful eye contact, a very fine image of a stunning little bird

    Nicely exposed and edited. More DOF would have made this beyond awesome.

    Satish, first and foremost...great job getting so close. IQ is terrific and so is the composition. Loved the pose. The back details look very good. Perfect critical AF spot. agree that a little more DOF to cover the feet would have been nice. You needed that SS so pushing the ISO a bit might have done the trick.
