    This crane may be common, but it sure is gorgeous. You have great feather details and I love your background (BG). The only wish I have is to see more of the feet, but I understand that couldn't be helped.

    Sweet light Vishal, nice detail, adding a curves adjustment in the mid tones just purks up the definition of the body plumage. Just watch the sharpening halos running around all the dark, underneath plumage, an easy fix.

    More to the point Vishal, do you think it has improved it, I can only suggest what I think it may need? To what percentage I guess is all personal.

    It's always a subtle adjustment IMHO, but that is what it's all about, subtlety (a soft hand, not a club hammer).

    I do like the colour palette.

    Beautiful shot, Vishal! I like the background and the low angle! I would add more room at the bottom of the frame!

    Lovely capture Vishal, beautiful colours and I like the soft BG, subject nice and sharp. Good advice from Steve above.

    I enjoyed viewing this image
