    Hi Sachin,
    A very nice, solid image of a bird on a perch!
    I like the faint blue sky and the great look at the talons and nails.Nice HA and eye.
    Nice vertical comp and I like the perch and the diagonal line it creates.
    I see a bit of noise in the orange feathers and a couple of dark smudges on the LH border and top border that can be easily dealt with,
    Gail

    Sachin, nice shot overall..angle a bit steep. Loved all the sharp details and the head turn. Well composed. Color looks spot on.

    Beautiful portrait of this bird. It reminds me of an Audubon painting. Love the simplicity and vivid color.

    Is it a Tohee? I like the great detail diagonal perch and those claws holding that great diagonal perch

    I like the perch and the exposure on the bird looks good. He has some real nice colors. The HA works well.

    We only have one type of Starling here....and it's not as photogenic as this beauty.

    Lovely subject isolation and a great perch, fine detail is nice, especially those feet, love that crest jutting out and clear eye....nicely done

    Great shape and colours to this beautioful bird, and the talons are awesome! Vertical comp was the way to go. Angle a bit steep, and I too see some noise on the orange.
