    I like the ruffled feathers and good head angle with the over the shoulder looking back pose here. The eye of the bird looks cool, like a shiny brassy eye ring.

    Wonderfully sharp, to me! Gorgeous bird, great pose and detail. So nice to be able to handhold when needed.

    What would you think about a little off the bottom?

    Vishal,
    Very nice pose with ruffled feathers you have captured on wonderful BG.
    Love over the shoulder look back pose with nice HA. Very nice composition too.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Vishal:

    Well done to hold that monster rig. I like the ruffled feathers with the orange edging. I agree with Diane and would crop a bit from the bottom and a very slight crop from the left to keep it from getting to square.

    Cheers

    Hi Vishal, good look back pose, and you achieved good DOF too. I really like the feather detail and the separate layers visible on the wings. The pastel colour to the BG works well, and if I had to change anything, it would be to come in from the left a touch.

    You did very well with your hand holding. Image is nice and sharp.
    The ruffled feathers and look back pose are very nice.
    Unusual BG color.
    I would crop from the bottom and LHS or try a horizontal crop.
