    Harshad...nice intimate portrait. Critical focus is probably somewhere in front of the eye. Loved the head angle.

    Nice bird and image Harshad, and a great repost by James. Just looking at the EXP data and the light and the resulting noise it would seem that the original was a gross under-EXP....

    What a great pose, Harshad. Looks like you persuaded that bird to sit for his portrait in your studio! :p

    I would be tempted to darken the background and brighten the bird to give it a little more pop.
