Hi Satish beautiful shot, love the clarity, exposure looks spot on to me, I like these back shots and this one is exceptional

Very nice image of Sawllow! Seems like the light was not ideal, nor in your favor but you did really well to expose the bird nicely! Well done Satish!

Pretty bird and a nice composition, wish the face was lit a little more.

Nice looking bird and look back pose. Just a touch more light on the bird for me.

[Jeannean Ryman]

What a lovely pose and bird. I agree about wishing for just a little more light on the bird's face. The neck feathers nearly blend into the background.

[Grace Scalzo]

So much interest here. I've never seen this bird before. I think that the bird needs to be a bit brighter and there are sharpening issues with the tail, (they look jagged) but I have no idea how to sharpen something like that...hopefully someone else will.

Nice looking back pose and nice colours in the bird, Satish.
If it were mine, I would select the bird and would use highlights/shadow tool or other means to make the bird a bit brighter.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

beautiful bird captured very nicely. I too would like more light on the face though

[Marina Scarr]

Here it is with some shadow/highlights adjustment on the shadows only I think at 15 points. I think when sharpening this image, I would not sharpen the tail.

Thank you Marina for your time on image.It looks superb.

Satish.
