    Supreet:

    A very interesting bird with great markings, eye. Strong pose, interesting perch (actually wish there was a little more of the perch visible)

    If the IQ will allow,I could see this cropped as a vertical.

    I do find the white horizontal line with verticals below it in front of the bird a little busy, and might try to soften it just a little.

    I also think that just a very slight upward curves adjustment would make the bird pop a bit more.

    Hope to see more of this great looking bird.

    Cheers

    like this a lot. Seems a bit over sharpened but the details are really nice as is the BG.

    An unusual and most striking image, the composition at first glance seems a little "incorrect" in terms of ROT but I like it with that big OOF leaf on the RHS. The bird is a strange looker but very eye catching. It al makes for a very interesting image, it makes me ask do you have any more.

    I like the image and especially the bird a whole lot. I could use a bit more room below but other than that have no problem with the basic image design. And I do not mind the BKGR at all.

    Overall the image looks quite dark to me.

    Where was it created? I hope that it was not in Louisiana! a
