    Hi Harshad,
    Lovely looking bird - I love the low angle of capture and the exposure looks great. I might be tempted to tone down the white splotches in the URC.
    Best,
    Nicki

    Hello Harshad,

    This is a lovely bird and a new specie for me. Thanks for sharing. Second vote for toning down the white patches. I don't know your skill with PS but would try to clone the grass/leaf that cover the tip of the tail. Some room in front of the bird would be nice too but overall... good work !!!

    I think a little bit of fill would really have helped this one. But sometimes you just don't have it with you.

    Super low angle Harshad, and good detail captured. Overall well exposed, and I would maybe selectively sharpen the head and beak.

    I really like the bird, great detail and eye. Too bad the tail is slightly obscured. The background is nice, but the foreground is busier than I would prefer.

    Lovely bird, HA, and pose. The blue/black feathers need a bit more sharpening.

    Like your repost Harshad. Love the low view. Done well. (Well spotted Artie, looks like the toe is missing).

    Repost is a serious improvement Harshad. The low angle is just fantastic and the head turn/eye contact excellent :-)
