Very nice Mohsen, such a lovely looking bird with beautiful markings, very sharp detail and liking his eye contact with the camera. Nicely isolated from the smooth backdrop as well as the diagonal composition works very well. Light is very nice and uniform, maybe a little more contrast needed

Mohsen, I really like the soft tones of this image. The fanned tail feathers help show that great rust color as well and the bird has some really nice detail.

Mohsen,
Excellent image. This must be Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush female. Love the pose with nice HA, lights, superb details and composition.

Satish,
I can't really distinguish the sex as the bird was in non-breeding plumage & they are very similar in this plumage. Would you please address the main identification keys?

This is a technically outstanding image- sharp, beautiful light and colour, great look-back pose. I would crop differently- mainly more room at the top and less on the bottom.
