Nicely done, I really like the way you caught the light with the shade.

Nice pose on the bird, the thorn perch is pretty cool. The small in the frame bird works here.

[Noel Heustis]

Sanjeev - That's a beautiful bird and I like that it's facing into the light. The background colors are nice. Thanks for the view into the Serengeti.

I am curious Sanjeev, the plumage has a "matt" appearance to it. Is that the light or have you processed differently to usual? Whilst the colours look pleasing I can't help but feel they look a little dense or saturated on the bird. Again this may be due to the lighting conditions?? Having said that I like the composition and the pose of the bird.

I like this one a lot Sanjeev. Great light and setting that shows of the well-positioned and posed bird very well. Processing looks good to and rounded off with a pleasing composition. Nothing I'd change here.
