Nice setting great pose, all in all a real beauty, Satish.

Nice look back pose and I like the detail in the feather pattern. Maybe a little more contrast or saturation to make the bird pop a bit more? Well captured Satish

Satish typical Kestrel pose they are always looking for something, the foliage makes the setting for me,all in all a very nice image.

Lovely shot Satish sir, a typical Kestrel habitat and perch. A tad brighter would have made this even better in my humble opinion. TFS

[John Robinson]

Yes - a nice one Satish Maybe a little more"punch" as mentioned would improve a fine image.

You had a pretty tough angle here and you did a good job making the bird appear lower than it was. Love the head turn and all of the environment.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nicely done Satish!
So cool specie! good job on making it look lower in the frame and with great details. Please keep them coming!

I'm OK with the shooting angle and the detail etc. and in those regards you have done well. However the image to my eyes suffers slightly with the work you have done on the sky in trying to correct for colour. The original processing or camera capture colours are still evident over the bird's crown, distal part of bill, between the bird's left foot and stray feather coming off the primary feathers, between the bird's right wing primary feather and tail (near rump) and there is a darker toned blue blob adjacent to the upper right primary feather. More careful work and you are there.

Such a wonderful subject, pose and background. A little more work as Aiden and others have suggested…this image is worth it!

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you every body for the feed back. I will take care of all your suggestions and reprocess it.

Regards,
Satish.

Hi Satish, super pose, and I like how the foliage behind her follows the outline of her body. I do like the colours on her too.

Looking forward to your repost. Adrian and his eagle eyes have addressed all issues very well. I may also be tempted to "prune" the branch that intersects with the chest,
