    Sweet light, BG, and exposure. The bird looks a tad over-sharpened on my monitor, and I would like to see more space in front if you have it. I also wish we could see the feet. Overall, well done!

    Hi Kiran,

    A lovely shot, excellent subject, nice pose, great colours, light and BG. There seems to be somekind of a halo around the subject (shadow/highlight?????). And it also looks a tad overshapened for me. Was it possible to shoot from a slightly higher angle to show a little more of the feet?

    Kiran, I like the comp as is, lovely light, with good detail. You have captured a super pose with a great HA, against a great BG. I have to agree with Aidan that there is evidence of over sharpening - around the eye, and the top of the wing.

    The light, details, BG and pose are all great. The COMP looks fine to me. Agree with the others that it looks a bit oversharpened. With the toes visible, this would have been even better, but you take what you get!

    Thank you all Dearest people for the kind words and suggestions, I am sure learning a lot here.

    I have reworked the image, without useing the H/S tool and also with less sharpening and increased a tad more space on the right, Kindly give me your valuable feedbacks.

    Best wishes,

    Kiran.

    Very nice indeed - I like the pose, plumage detail, and eathy tones of bird and bird. Nice background to. The plumage looks quite coarse, we have a few species like that around here, I find I have to back off on my usual sharpening formula with them.

    I like your repost Bhai! It is a little less crisp than the OP and it makes all the difference. Wonderful work and TFS. :)
