    I like the pose and the perch. Great colors too. The IQ is not great, heavy noise reduction has impacted the details.

    Really nice bird and pose, but I have to agree with Arash that it is lacking a bit of fine details, possible due to a heavy noise reduction applied to the bird.

    The details on the bird look better on the repost, but I prefer the noiseless BG of the OP. Cute little bird. Perhaps a bit more of a head turn would have been cool. I'd also have pointed my camera a bit more to the right (or crop more out at left). Well done for the low-light conditions.

    Hi Prashant,

    Just like Daniel I prefer the repost for the bird but the BG is noisy. What you can do is selecting the bird in PS and then reversing the selection to apply noise reduction to the BG while leaving the bird as it is. Im not sure what would look best regarding the perch, if leaving it as it is or applying NR to it aswell, I guess you can try both ways. But definitely applying NR to the BG and leaving the bird as it is should do the trick.

    Thanks Sir,

    I have applied NR to Bg but by mistake I have made the Bg layer 50% on Photoshop :(
    Here is final image.

    the BG blur is no good, it makes the BG look unnatural to the eye. Only run NR on the BG but no blur
