    Very nicely done Satish. Details are not too bad for 6400 ISO.

    I love the electric-blue displayed by this Thrush Satish. Quite an interesting aspect of the bird's back and he gave you a good head turn. Good IQ for ISO 6400. BG look a little bright on my monitor.

    Nice IQ for 6400.
    I find the shadow in the eye a bit weird so would darken the pupil.
    Love the colors,
    Gail

    Satish:

    The repost pupil looks much better. Good work at that ISO, you maintained good detail on the bird.

    I would use a clone stamp to soften the diagonal white streak above the head.

    Cheers

    Hi Satish, lovely blues on this fellow, and a vertical comp was the only way to go. Your repost with the darkened pupil has turned out very well, and agree toning down the BG wont harm the image.

    I like the colour of the thrush, perch, pose and composition. The repost looks better. The only give away on the canvas addition is the repeating pattern of the moss. Excellent image Satish!

    Thanks,
    I have increased the canvas on the RS and hence there is repetition of moss on the perch.I will take of it.

    Satish.
