    A very nice capture of the bird, with great detail in the whites and blacks. But something looks odd about the tree. Did you reduce contrast there? It looks like the strange look of negative Clarity.

    Hi Moshen, good to see a Pied from another part of the world. She looks like she is about to take off, and I actually like the dirty beak. I agree with Diane, something strange about the foliage, but great colours in the BG.

    Stunning pose, muddy beak and light. Agree with maybe adding a little contrast, foliage does look odd.

    excellent pose, light, sharp details and good exposure. I wish the beak was a bit cleaner and agree the foliage looks lacking in contrast, it looks like it was covered with dried mud or desert sand (?)

    Beautiful bird. Saw this species in Kenya last week too, but was far away. Love the details and sharpness. You nailed the exposure here. The foliage looks a bit odd, but perhaps because you ran NR, I'm not sure. Loi

    Lovely bird, pose and light. Like the perch and BG but issues mentioned above.
