Great detail and sharpness. Nice BG too. You probably could have left it full-frame, as it looks a little tight on the bird for me.

[Mike Poole]

Lovely angle you had, and it works well. Maybe a little tight in the frame, but not too big a deal as there is so much negative space by the legs

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful image, Sanjeev. Wonderful light, lovely background, great turn of the head, nice sharp detail. Amazing long legs. If feels a little squashed on top. Maybe add a slivver.

[Bob Pelkey]

Great representation of the details of the anatomy of the species with use of the EOS 7D. The background is particularly nice as well although the subject appears too tight in the frame.

[David Salem]

Nice look at this long legged fellow. I like the detail and the colors and the BG adds to the scene. I'm ok with the comp as it shows him off nicely. Well done

[arash_hazeghi]

I like the view of the legs here! well done

Sanjeev:

Sharp bird, nicely angled, good colors in the bg for this subject/perch. I personally would add a sliver of space on top. Doesn't need much because of his pose, but would add some.

Well done.

Cheers

Great shot Sanjeev. Agree with the other comments about the sliver of space on top.

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Sanjeev, a real cracker and a winning image. PP looks spot on, love the BKG and overall colours, just wished you had the same shot without the 1.4.

Excellent.
