Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.

Just lovely Satish !....sharp detail and blue sky backdrop, exposure looks great with flashes of blue appearing through the blacks. Liking very much the way the bird mirrors the angle of the perch and all fits within the frame quite well I think...personal preference would be a little more room on the right possibly. Though not bad by any means but their is a little graininess showing on the bird itself I think.....very good job cloning out the now invisible branches as well

[Jonathan Ashton]

Nicely caught, good exposure, a slight head turn would have helped but nevertheless a good image. The positioning of the feet provide a little added interest. Good job with the cloning.
The great tits in India appear to be quite different in colouration to the ones in Europe, ours have a lot more yellow in the plumage.

Nice crisp detail, like the perch and feet, nice position, HA a little away.
slight halo under bill?

Nicely done Satish, the details are nice on the bird and a lovely perch
i like the details on black you have here
wonderfully executed

[Daniel Cadieux]

Details look great, and the basic comp is good. Could the whites go brighter? I'd also prefer a better head angle as it is current angled away.

Hi Satish, I like how the blue iridescence on the head has shown up, and you have also brought out excellent detail. The sharpness is on the edge, as there is a hint of bits of crispiness on the top of the wing.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Sweet light, superb exposure and lovely details. The blue iridescence, as Stu mentioned, indeed looks great. A better head angle would've been great.
The images you achieve with a 400mm is a testament to your field craft. Nice work Satish.

Very sharp and beautiful image satish. Looks like you got pretty close to fill the frame. Nicely done.

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpness.

[Dennis Zaebst]

Hi Satish. Great sharpness and detail, plus nice BG. I haven't seen these birds in the flesh, but I too am wondering if the cheek and side of the bird are lighter in color? In any case, great image.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thanks a lot every body for your feed back and nice comments.

Daniel Sir,
Yes whites could brighter.

Dennis:Cheek and sides of the birds are pure whites and difficult to expose.
Regards,
Satish.
