Friends, After posting and looking at image having dark BG with dark area in ULC and RLC I thought, I should frame the image.So here it is.
Hope you will like it.
Hi Satish, great preening pose with the outstretched wing, and just love those yellows of the head. I do like the thinner perch, and all against that smooth BG. I prefer your OP with regards to presentation. Not too keen on the yellow frame.
Wonderful preening pose captured. I agree, the OP is a bit better, but if you did want a border I would consider a very thin neutral color (maybe white?). Otherwise, the OP was just fine!
With the head position, I wonder what more room below and less on top would look like.
