I really like the colors and the foliage in this image. Wonderful soft diffuse light.
Excellent DOF as well.
Good IQ in the bird.
I might take a sliver off the left. Well done,
Gail

This is a very pleasing image. The perch is awesome and the DOF works very well.

Hi Girish, as I opened this, it just popped in my face. Love the soft light, and you have captured a great pose from the weaver, and overall sharp too. I really like the spread of foliage on the perch, and yes to good DOF over the whole image.

Stuart took the words right out of my mouth. The bird pops out of the greenery very well. Nice colors and the bird is nice and sharp. Well done Girish

Lovely look-back pose, beautiful foliage. Love the soft light.

The background you achieved on this one is really nice! Beautiful bird as well, posed very well on the perch. Great image.

Bird, perch, comp look terrific. The BG, especially the area in the lower left quadrant, looks amazing. I just wish you did not have as much bright area as you do over the subject itself. Well done Girish!

I like the details, sharpness, setting and perch. Excellent image Girish!

Girish, this is simply beautiful, stunning colours and killer background. Great pose from the subject, so sharp and I love the glint in the eye

Kind regards,
