I really like this one, Girish. The pose is nice, and I love the way the bird pops against the green BG. Small-in-the-frame works very well. I almost feels as if it could use just a bit more NR, at least on my screen. And I'm undecided about the lighter-colored stem in the LRC.

Beautiful, sharp bird and a very lovely BG. I like the way the stem it is perched on is faded out at the bottom by closer foliage.

I like the feeling of this image. I'd go tighter just a touch with the composition. Nice one.

Nice one GIrish, its so difficult to get this guy in open, i like the pose and the wonderful BG
Just a bit tempted to clone the stick in the left , other details look wonderful wont change anything else in here, spot on

[Ashley Cohen]

Very nice soft light, great perch, and excellent details.
Well done.

I like the contrast between the sharp bright bird and the rather ethereal seeming habitat.

The bird sure stands out nice amongst the the green reeds. I like the faded FG and the overall look to the whole scene. Very nice.

I tried this species in Portugal and got nothing anywhere near as nice as this image. Everything is just right. Very well done.
