    A beautiful image Satish but I would like it to have more pop, vibrance... Im not sure how to achieve that but the blacks look a bit weak, or flat. What kind of shrike is this? There is also some artifact in the upper left corner that pulls my eye that away...

    Nicely done, Satish. I like the colors of the bird against the green background. Similar to the Loggerhead Shrike in Florida. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi Satish, Happy New Year to you as well!!

    Nice vertical composition to go with the straight elongated shape of the shrike. Looks great for the most part, I only wish for deeper blacks, which the repost addresses some.

    Very nice capture, Satish. Great looking bird and like the repost, but I too would like to see the blacks a bit richer. I would remove the light spot in the lower part of the eye.

    Happy New Year to you.

    Lovely details and a perfect look-back pose. For f5.6, you've achieved great DOF, with the entire bird and the perch in focus and a silky smooth BG. Lovely colors, but agree that blacks can go a bit darker.
    Very nice work Satish. A very happy new year to you and yours, and looking forward to more of your images.
