Hi Satish, Nice looking Swallow and a good look at the wire tail. Exposure and details look good and the BG color looks great. Maybe clone out the writing and the yellow on the wire and a bit of NR on the BG, otherwise a nice capture.

Good looking Swallow and well exposed shot, Satish. It always amazes me that you have so many great looking birds in your country. Keep them coming.

[Grace Scalzo]

What a beautiful bird, Satish. I might trim from the top as all that space doesn't add much to the image. Do you have any others where the head is a more profiled?

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for the feed back and nice comments.
David,
Thanks, I didn't notice the yellow on wire until you pointed out. I will take of it.
Grace, I have another image with nice head angle, I will post it tomorrow.

Regards,
Satish.

Satish you have a wonderful exposure on the bird - great details too. Whilst i do not find the background objectionable I would give it more NR, I think this would make the swallow sing!!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Satish, love the inquisitive stare, and your angle shows off the tail nicely. Whites look good, and agree, some NR on the BG wont harm the image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice slender bird with a neat forked tail. Not the best perch ever, and I would prefer a better head angle (either profile as per Grace, or straight on). Good vertical comp though.

Thank you all once again for your feed back.
