Nice view of this bunting with a great background. Really like the colors on this bird. Nice and sharp.

- European population declining by 80% in 10 years, 25% in 3 years and these birds are so prized that at one market in Sanshui, China at least 10,000 birds are sold each day. That's alarming... Thank you for sharing this info and lovely image. Very natural perch, with web material, soft clean BG, and HA. I would suggest toning down the saturated yellows as there are some areas that are blown, front top chest and under the throat. Maybe you can recover . Is this your first time seeing this bird?

This is a really nice Somdeb. Beautiful details and natural perch. Sharpness is outstanding. Yellows could use a slight knockdown, but not much. It's pretty close to perfect right now.

Great bird, great perch and great background. Perfect pose and you have an interesting perch which for me is vital on songbird shots. The tops of the two little sticks behind the birds rear foot and the 2 left most perches are all over exposed. I would burn those at a low opacity or use Camera Raw filter, choose the brush and paint over those areas to see if you can recover some details. Be extra careful about the transition zone between the edge of the perch and the background as you do not want there to be any visible lines there.

Thanks a ton for your inputs. Your inputs would really help Processing and presenting my next shot.
I would specially thank Arthur Morris Sir for his book and continuous inputs, Issac Grant Sir and Jonathan Aston Sir for the continuous inputs including the one on my previous post regarding converting to jpeg for web presentation retaining sharpness.
Its fun to learn.
Thanks again.
with warm regards,
Somdeb
