A beautiful bird with a nice pose, colours and lovely background. IMO maybe a boost in contrast and saturation would improve the image and a touch more noise reduction on the background may help, but a very pleasant image Sachin.
Liking very much the over the shoulder pose, striking colors on this bird and like the detail in the striations on the neck region, eye looks very nice too. Overall I think maybe just a tiny bit more sharpening on just the bird, and wishing for a better/smaller perch...but that's often expecting too much.
Hey Sachin,
Know the subject well. Besides the noise......this could be opened up a stop or two. A bit dark overall. If this is close to FF.....my only other recommendation would be to go to a vert composition......BG is nice.....bu the vert comp would strengthen it even further.
The Noise is an easy fix. The bird looks terrific and I like the perch.
I like the Horizontal crop because of the look back pose. I think it would look cramped as a vertical.
Here is re post with suggested changes...added some brightness, contrast, slight sharpening and couple of rounds of NR on BG..let me know if it looks any better
Sachin:
Magnificent image of blue jay.Love the re post with beautiful colors,sharpness,pose and lovely BG.
If mine,would go for tighter crop,more on LHS.
I try to comment without looking at previous comments but I spotted two images, I am not familiar with the bird, I really like both versions, I prefer the background in the second image becasue it is a little softer.
