Hello Satish,smashing little juvenile bird full of detail and sharpness ,I like the stretched pose a little more head turn would be icing on the cake ,but no big deal.

Regards Keith.

Good morning, Satish. Lovely detail in the feathers of the outstretched wing. Composition works well for this pose. Head turn noted.

[Bill Dix]

Satish, wonderfully sharp wing stretch, with good comp and lovely color palette. Yes, a head turn would bring it up a notch.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great detail in this fine capture. Might darken some of the lighter areas in the BG as I find them just a bit distracting.

Hi Satish, well timed to capture the stretching wing, and it shows off great detail. Good DOF, sharp, and I really like the curve of this pose. You know that a better HA would have put this over the top.

I like the stretched out wing and nice complimentary BG. I would like a slightly better head angle. Nice one Satish.

Nicely captured and framed Satish, good detail and sharpness. Agree with comments reg HA. All in all a lovely image.

[David Salem]

The HA isnt the best but the wing position sure is. Great looking feather detail Satish. Well done

[John Robinson]

All been said Satish. The head turn is aminor set back- no big deal.

Super Satish really great detail and pose, I agree a little head turn would help but everyone has commented on this being a very strong image which it is.

Spectacular view of the stretched wing. Bad luck on the head turn away.... d-o-f was sufficient. The white diagonal that goes through the bill is distracting....

[Diane Miller]

This is a wonderful pose, and sharp and detailed. Artistically, the head turn follows the sweep of the wing, which is just beautiful! And birds do look away sometimes. As nice as the prescribed head turn is, not every image can fit the formula.

Thank you very much for the comments. I will take care of the diagonal white line.
