A lovely shot, Satish. Great look-back pose showing a good dorsal view, and an interesting layered background that makes the bird stand out nicely.

Lovely detail, perfectly exposed and super background. Well done Satish and thanks for sharing!

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Beautiful image, Satish. Wonderful soft light and detail on bird. BG colors are very complimentary.

I really like the deep blue/black coloring of the bird, along with the feather details. And the creamy background is very nice. However, the bright green at the top seemed to demand a little too much attention when I was viewing the image. I know that cropping is such a personal decision, but I wanted to see how the image would look without the dominate green at top. I also used a very light curve on the bird and another on the background. WDYT?

This is excellent Satish.
Great exposure and lovely details on the blacks and blues.
I really like the BG as is but I did a browser scroll to eliminate the top layer of green and I really liked it.
Very nice shot!
