    Beautiful color and detail as well as spot on exposure. Would crop a bit off the left side , were it mine.

    Beautiful colors and nice pose on this one. Exposure looks nice as do the details. Not sure if its me but looks like a little noise in the blacks or it could use a bit more contrast in the blacks. see what others see. Well done!

    Ritesh,

    Really lovely bg to compliment the black and blue feathers. I do think the blacks could be a bit darker, but I like the comp as is (no need to remove any space on the left, IMO)

    Nice looking bird, great shot. I would have used f7.1 or f8.0 to get more DOF. In fact you had the speed (1/2000 s) to reduce it, unless you were expecting to shoot BIF.

    Great BG indeed. nice pose and details as well. Well done.

    agree with some of the suggestions above:(a) blacks can be deeper and then noise will not show up (c) more DOF would have beet better. BG would not have been compromised by stopping down to 7.1.

    I am fine with the composition. I'd only add a bit more on top if you have.
