    I like the soft light, head angle, open bill and BG in this one. There is a slight sharpening halo around bill and legs and if it were mine I would remove the little branch sticking out of the back and the other little one above the bird. Some areas in the BG look a bit noisy.

    Hola amigo.
    Repost looks even better. The branch on the back has been mentioned. I would lighten the eye and mask a little.

    I actually prefer the first post. The bg on my monitor seems to have a bit more pop to it. Well done on ha, open beak and eye. Halos are always a nuisance and in this photo I do not find them over distracting. Dave

    I like the first post, the greens are very nice and agree with Axel, please clone the distracting branches and take care of the halo, its a superb image

    HArshad bhai
    A special image indeed. Your horizontal repost works well, I do wish though that the light were better, that is warm. This looks a little flat as a result, nevertheless still rather appealing. I am OK with twig. :) TFS bro.

    Vertical repost looks a bit washed out. First repost seems a bit bland. Original post is best IMO except for the slight oversharpening (I don't see "huge halos") and the extra branches. JR

    Beautiful image Harshad .. the Bird stands out really well in this contrasting BG .. I too like the horizontal crop and those branches are a bit distracting but cloning them or not it's about personal choice :)
