    Nice looking back pose and nice colourful background, Satish. IQ is pretty good.

    Nice green BG and perch. Wish the bird were giving you a little more face, and wish the face were a little sharper. I'd probably be tempted to tone down the white on the right.

    Hi Satish, good feather detail on the wing, sharp in that area, and agree, a better HA would have been good. Lovely smooth BG, and yes, blending in the lighter area URC wont harm the image.

    While I like the comp and the BG and simple diagonal perch,I am not loving this one Satish.
    The image looks noisy and a tad oversharpened on the back but a bit soft on the head . I wonder why you were at such a high ISO and a SS of 1/4000. I think the IQ would have been greatly improved if you had been at ISO 800 and SS 1/2000.
    I also see a magenta cast in the image.

    Lovely simplistic composition Satish, I like how he's perching on the very top of the stick, the head does look a little soft compared to the rest of the body, maybe slightly misfocused ? I'd be inclined to smooth out the brighter area in the backdrop on the upper right corner

    I do like the diagonal perch, the birds pose and green bg but have to agree about the soft head and I think I see noise on the body as well.

    Thank you all for the feed back.
    Noise noted.Agree about head turn.
    Gail:
    Setting I had for another bird flying around another perch.Suddenly this wagtail came and sat on another perch and I did not get time to change the setting.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    I like how prominently the claws show in this image. You received some great feedback from
    everybody already, and I tend to agree with most of it....particularly blending out the right
    upper corner.
