Lovely bird, beautiful background, Satish. Lighting on the bird and perch adds interest.

Lovely shot, Satish. I love the contemplative pose of the bushchat, as well as the warm light. I'd clone out the weaker catchlight though.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely light and warm colors. Details are super. Love how the bird blends into that BG so well.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Hi Satish, excellent light, lovely details and bg. Love the warmth in this image.
A better perch would have taken this up a few more notches. TFS.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree a better perch would have taken this up a notch or two...and perhaps even a better HA too (I feel it is twisted away a bit too much relative to body angle). Awesome BG, lots of good details, and a strong comp.

[MohsenVahedipour]

Satish, I like sweet soft uniform light & sharp details. I would prefer a BG without that big block spot. TFS

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Satish, your images seem to have moved up a few notches so well done. Exposure spot on for this fellow, as is the sharpness. I do like how the light has brought out the colours.

This fellow is very similar to our Ant-eating Chat.

Very good comments so far.
I wish the perch was nicer but you have good solid techs and a nice BG.
I would clone out the lower catchlight,
Gail

Lovely clean image packed with detail, my only suggestion would be to tone down the perch a little, the brightness tends to draw my eye from the subject a little bit.

[PhilCook]

I rather like the quizzical look/head turn on this one, lots of detail showing through and certainly a cute subject....I also would remove the second smaller catch light and maybe darken the perch a little

[David Salem]

Agreed with everything said abut this beautiful image. Great detail and exposure. Well done

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details and eye contact.
