    To me the blacks could go a little deeper and the sheen on the bill toned down a bit, but eveything else is fantastic. Great IQ...and I like that you kept a darker area in URC. Excellent pose, and note the perfect HA.

    Mital, this is a great image. Great exposure of the blacks, super background, nice perch and sharp from eye to to tail feathers. Well done.

    Hi Mital

    I am always a big fan of the over the shoulder pose. Great pose and eye contact from the bird, clean background and interesting perch all add up to a fine photograph. Good use of DOF. The photo is well exposed but I thought it might need a touch more in the blacks.

    Cheers

    Excellent exposure Mital, sharp, and showing lovely detail. I like the pose, and well placed in your comp. If this was mine, I would have blended away the darker area URC.

    I like the composition, light, perch and eye contact. Another vote for more contrast and toning down the sheen on the bill. If it were mine, I might remove the dark patch at the upper right side.

    Excelent exposure and a wonderful BG. very good HA.
    I think I would try it as a vertical as well.

    Very nice Mital - like the detail in the blacks, the sheen, head turn and typical drongo pose.

    cheers
