    Hi Sanjeev, excellent plumage detail showing up here, and overall nice and sharp. I like the raised wing too. I am trying to figure out if you should have the top of the water line level/horizontal, or leave as is. I also feel you should remove some of the red cast on his plumage, as they are normally black for Males.

    Beautiful image. The bird stands out real well against the lovely BG. Fab detail and nice light. Good POV

    Ditto on all the positives. You needed to be two feet higher. Why? The color looks a bit off to me. What are others seeing/

    Very nice image and good to see the surroundings as well. I like the details but agree the blacks are too red. Also the grass looks funny to me somehow but I can't place it. Also agree with Artie re being higher up.

    That's one big bird. Really like the background and the environment in this one. Well done.

    Hi Sanjeev, a great shot of the ostrich but I think the colour balance is a little off, how's this? (Just used white dropper on 50/50/50)

    Super shot! Love the habitat for context. I agree the original image looks a bit yellow.
