    Love the dreamy background here, Sasan. The color variation is really pretty, too. Wishing for just a tad more at the bottom!

    Super nice sasan, detail, exposure, and the rain droplets. The gradient colors are beautiful in the BG

    Excellent on all counts. Love the colors in the background. Only tiny nit is the sharpening halo along the back of the neck, easily fixed. Nicely done.

    Lovely image Sasan. Bird, background, colors, POV, all fine.
    Good pickup from Bill about the halo. Very subtle, but def. there.

    Hope you have more in this series? Were you shooting from a hide?

    Cheers

    Really nice shot of this grebe, beautiful BG, nice angle, and eye highlight.

    The colors of the background look fantastic and compliment the bird perfectly. I see the halo on the back of the neck as well. Not sure if that is a sharpening halo or perhaps you were not 100% tidy with your selection and maybe lightened the bird or background and it is reflecting like a sharpening halo. Also you have strong banding in your background which typically comes from applying too strong of a gaussian blur to the background but could also be from overly aggressive noise reduction. I would revisit your workflow on this one and try and fix these issues as the photo is worth saving. It is a real beauty once these issues are fixed.

    Really excellent, the breeding plumage, the water drops and fantastic BG.

    thanks for comment

    In a century that the resolution is 4k and 5k send a photo with 1200 pixel resolution It's like joking!!!No blur has been do on the photo.not at all....There is no halo and banding on the original size photo.The problems you mention are just for resizing
