Hi Ritesh, not sure what steps you took in the PP, but this is perhaps your best image to date IMHO. Colour has not got the warm/red, saturated cast appearance and the detail, even fine detail is there, VWD, looks like you've cracked things.

The only element I don't really care for is the green FG, it looks a bit 'manufactured', but that's a personal observation.

You should crack a beer and raise a glass.

Keep it up.

Lovely image Ritesh, like the bird looking at the lens and perfect background, would also work for me as a square crop.
Wonderful.

Lovely portrait of this stunning bird. I am good with the foreground and like the graduated, soft BG as well. This may also work as a vertical. The color palette is quite lovely.

Thanks To you for correcting me time to time and everyone in this forum to correcting me ..... I done some thing like colour correction and other as and other suggested by all of you in my last so many posts ...... I also recalibrate my iMac and set the profiles according to the lights in the room ...... All those things work I think.

Thanks for everything Steve....

Cheers......

Hi Ritesh, you are most welcome, it's great to see the massive transformation, I would liken it to switching on the light in a dark room.

Just make sure you calibrate at least once a month, or when the software tells you (subject to the software you have & it's capabilities).

Just make sure you have the 'Colour settings' correct in PS found under the main header Edit, ping me a screen grab if you want, however... The image has not got the correct embedded colour Profile i.e. sRGB, you need to check your set up again and the check boxes.

Just get these little things right and you will be on the Home run, they are important.

Hi Ritesh ,what you are doing sure looks to be working and you have some good advice from Steve.Not sure about the green at the front but that apart it really is an excellent image to my eyes,beautiful natural feather detail.

I agree with Steve!! This is your best post to date!! Not because I love raptors, because this is so well balanced and beautiful. The rock, the pose, the details, the colors and the BG are all awesome. I even like the green in the FG.
I find this image a little dark and lacking in contrast so adjusted it a bit using levels. I also lightened the eye and added a small catch light. See what you think. This would make a nice print!

Hey Ritesh, Aa super image, the colors look great on this striking Falcon. I sure would love to have one like this.

The RP has certainly taken it up a gear and where it needs to be, but like the OP, the RP still does not have an embedded Profile sRGB either??

[David Salem]

Steve, dose it have one now.

Steve, dose it have one now.

Indeed it does Sir.

Mostly been said Ratish. I still reckon its worth a try vertically cropped. Just my peety take on things'
