Nice composition and BG. Good exposure on bird. i am debating if the head could use another round of sharpening.

Everything looks rippin good on my end Satish. I really enjoy the perch because I've no idea what it is and it's visually interesting and complimentary to the bird in size and color. Sharpness, details, exposure....all rockin. The noise control was perfectly handled in post.

Love the perch, lighting, pose, bg. I might have been tempted to remove the several bright spots on his bill, but they do indicate what he's been up to. Question of personal preference.

Very nice light and good sharpness. I like the green BG too. Some folks might suggest that you clean up the beak, but since it tells the story of the bird's behavior I'd leave it as is. It would have been nice if the bird was looking slightly down and towards us.

Hi Satish, I like the light in this, which in turn has brought out the feather detail and colours nicely. The sparrow pops well against the smooth BG, and I would leave the beak as is.

I like the pose, perch, BG, exposure and composition. Nice image Satish.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Interesting perch, good BG, nice colours and details. The profile pose is very good, but I agree with Doug about the head angle.

The perch is flowering part of Pearl Millet, where seeds are produced. It is like the cob of the Corn “hard central part “on which corns are attached. Similarly this part is at the tip of the plant, where Bajara (Indian Name) or pearl millets are produced.Regards,Satish.
