    Not sure if its my eyes this late at night, if not, see what others see, but it looks like there is a haze over the entire frame. The capture is awesome with the head being sharp and those beautiful wings posed after take off. I shoot shots like this allot and wondered if you setup on this bird and pre front focused to capture this. Very nice capture.

    Hi Satish, great flight pose of this lovely colorful bird. I agree it seems to lack a bit of contrast. Otherwise nice shot.

    Hi Satish, a nice capture of a beautiful bird. Very nice head angle, and I really like the dangling feet. The colors are lovely. I agree that additional contrast would be helpful. The shortened perch does look a bit strange. The remaining perch is so substantial, the brain really expects to see it extend above the birds wings. I wonder if the image might look more natural with the complete perch, or the perch totally removed?

    Hi Satish,
    The OP has that funny haze over the frame and the repost is way too contrasty.
    The cloning work needs some fine tuning and I would remove the entire perch as it seems large and out of place. Or, just leave the perch as is,

    Thanks a lot Gail, Here is the post without perch and less contrast.
    Can you tell me how to remove images in pan# 6&7.

    Hey Satish, great sharp shot you have here of a beautiful bird not always seen in flight. The colours look a bit over-saturated though. The blues in the wings may be burning their channel. Your final RP looks great otherwise, although the visible feet make it seem that he has just taken off from somewhere. So the lack of a perch here is a double edged sword!

    I like the lact version the best, Satish. Good call on the removal of the stick.

    Hi Satish, your Indian rollers and our Lilac breasted rollers show such awesome colours when they are in flight, and you have shown that nicely with this take off shot. Well timed too.

    Your repost in pane #9 has turned out much better. I feel we should leave pane#6&7 for others to see your steps.

    Great capture with fantastic blues! I like the last repost. I would add a little brightening to the eye to finish it off!
