    Satish:

    I like the wind blown feathers, foot up pose, composition, colors and sharpness. Just for personal taste, I would ever so slightly tone down the brightness of the brown in the upper left corner.

    Cheers

    Lovely image and light, Satish. Love the feathers and the raised foot. I am seeing some remnants of work that you did around the bird's beak. I also think that your bird's head needs more sharpening b/c the wing is appearing more in focus than the head.

    Satish - lovely capture of this wood sandp. The windblown feathers and raised foot are good strong points of this image. Agree with the head looking a little oversharpened, though.

    Very nice Satish, liking very much the backdrop colors and light on the bird, ruffled feathers and raised foot is a nice touch, everything is well proportioned in the frame. I find the whites on it's side are just slightly hot, but that could simply be my computer monitor, and the small areas behind and in front of the eye look a little coarse, maybe reduce sharpening on just those two tiny areas

    Very pretty shot. Really like the windblown feathers and foot-up gesture. Agree with what's been posted above. The light brown in the URC still grabs my attention.

    Beautiful image! But not a lot is happening in all that space on the left. What would you think about trimming some of it for better balance?

    Very nice Satish. The repost looks great and I think the sharpness is perfect. This one came together nicely with wonderful exposure, detail, perch, cool pose and BG. Well done!

    Nice one Satish,
    The repost is actually lovely , i guess the bird is a common sandpiper and not a wood.
    i love the light in the image
