    loved the HA and BG here...maybe 1/3rd stop under exposed would enhanced it as the whites(cheek and shoulder) seem a tad bit blown on my monitor...

    Harshad, great HA, good detail and colours. The whites look fine to me, but I would sharpen him a little more. Very similar to our sparrows here.

    Looks good to me too, maybe a bit more sharpening. Nice pose and HA, good BG, catch light in eye. A nice image of an often overlooked bird.

    I like the angle, head angle and BG in this one and might selectively sharpen the head a bit more. I find the perch a bit overpowering and might raise the color temperature a few degrees.

    Oh man...I just realized that my monitor was on some high contrast text reading mode which made the colors look very different... Sorry about the earlier post...the whites look just fine now...my bad...
    :P

    Nice everything here, the perch as you said is too big but easily overlooked when the bird is so nice

    Whites look fine from here with lots of detail. Rohan, check your calibration strip. That the bird is close enough to the front of the perch to yield the front of the perch sharp is big plus. You might wish to lose the bit of whitewash on the face of the perch below the bird.
