Hi Satish - The background colors work very well. I like that the bird is "perched" in the creamy part with the red on either side; the composition worked well. The focus seems to be on the rump-wing area, thus the eye and head are not sharp enough IMO. I like the white dots on the body, as well as the catch-light in the eye.

The BG colors are very different. I like them. Love the composition and crop.

[gail bisson]

The BG colors are awesome and very complimentary to the bird.
I agree the head seems a bit OOF.

Beautiful colors! I bet that the softness is coming from your crop. Could you compose it looser and regain some of the detail in the bird? I'd love to see a rework because of the potential that this image holds.

[Lyle Gruby]

Agree with above. I'd like to see this a little looser to regain some of your IQ. Is that BG a building?

[Shawn Zierman]

That is a sweet looking little bird...love the plumage. ISO200 was probably too low in this light quality. IQ issues noted and pretty well commented on already.

Hi Satish, certainly striking colours throughout to attract the viewers attention. Good angled pose into the frame, and Im glad the perch is nice and thin. I would try some selective sharpening on the head if possible.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for the feed back and nice comments.

Grace and Stuart Sir,
Here is the re post with loose crop and head sharpened.


Regards,
Satish.

Great looking bird, and nice complimenting background, Satish. The repost is an improvement.

[hennieloots]

Hi Satish - Excellent job on the repost. The head is markedly sharper and the wider crop works. VWD.
