    Slight crop from Top
    Nik 25-25 Filter on Bird at reduced opacity

    Overall nice looking image, I like the backlit idea but would be good to see more face detail.

    Krishna, I love the pulled back, environment view. Even more, I love the rim lit effect... brilliant use of light!

    Not having face details doesn't bother me a bit. But it looks like a stretch at f4 to get the subject on the left in focus; just a bit soft.

    Overall I like the canvas but would suggest a version with less foreground - perhaps pull the crop tool from the bottom and a little from right.

    Keep up the great work!

    Love the golden backlight and the small-in-the-frame approach. F/8 at 320 sec. might have been better. Yes to some off the bottom along with some off our left as well.
