    Good exposure and details in all tones, I like the composition and palette. The grasshopper is a welcome component. The marble like rocks are interesting, they are not overexposed or incorrectly exposed but I wonder if you tone them down a little maybe the lark sparrow would look a little more prominent??

    Thank you. I already tonned it down quite a bit. Do you think I need tone it down further ?

    Good bird with good prey, and I like the rocky perch. Maybe tone it down just a little bit more, although it's not bad as shown, to my eye. But I'd be tempted to crop several centimeters off the bottom to make it less dominant. And possibly a tad more sharpening on the bird.

    Long time no post eh? I like the framing and the pose. Prey is another bonus on this one. The blue sky background is very nice.

    Krishna, bird looks pretty good with the even light. Grasshopper gets brownie points for sure.

    The rocks take up so much of the image. If it wasn't a large crop, I might suggest cropping in from right until you eliminate the right most rock completely and a lot of the left one.

    Prey and perch are really nice. Maybe lower overall exposure just a tad.

    Very much like this one.
    I'd like the rocks to show a bit more darks if possible - but otherwise great frame. TFS.

    I think the exposure looks ok here...Great perch...lovely detail on the bird with a nice pose. Try a little more contrast on the BG and perch...Prey adds. Welcome back Krishna.
