Harshad:

Very handsome bird, and the soft light helped this difficult to expose combination of yellow/white and dark gray.

As posted, there are some hot areas through out the yellows and some of the whites. The detail is still pretty good, so just a minor adjustment of the highlight slider or lowering the overall contrast a bit would do it.

Great HA.

From a comp standpoint, I might be tempted to crop off 40% of the free space above, and add a bit to the right!

Thanks for sharing.

Harshad:

The crop down from above looks better. I mispoke about the other side, I really meant you need to add more space to the left. Sorry! My fault. He really needs a little more space to stare into!

Cheers

beautiful image Harshad, I like Randy's comments., and suggest a lower iso for better details, and less noise.

[Rohan Kamath]

Very nicely exposed...I like the details maintained in the conditions and light...

Harshad, Super pose, and I like the colours in this. The yellows do look a bit hot on the head, but easily fixed. Your repost is much better. Well done.
