Harshad

[Suzanne Huot]

Another Kingfisher gem ,super sharp detail and colour ,But maybe a vertical crop would be interesting

[Doug Brown]

Love the brilliant colors of the bird against the nice green BG. Sharpness is excellent. I like the perch coming down from the top, but I'd be tempted to remove the OOF branch in front of the main perch.

[Lorant Voros]

Lovely colors and nice BG and indeed great sharpness. I'd also give a try to remove the OOF branch if it fits your ethics.

[Harshad Barve]

I'd be tempted to remove the OOF branch in front of the main perch.

Thanks for valuable commnets Doug , I too was tempted to do so , but there is shadow of that branch on back of bird :)

[Raymond Barlow]

really cool shot as is Harshad., the composition is excellent, and details, light, superb.

[Dave Barnes]

Super IQ Harshad. I would not remove the vertical branch as the shadow would then not make sence. (unless you can remove the shadow?)
Love the colours.

[arash_hazeghi]

Very well done, excellent BG with great detail. TFS

[Connie Mier]

I like how you positioned the bird in the frame, and beautiful colors sharply displayed.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Lovely colourful frame Bhai, yeah agree the shadow thats would not allow the cloning...

[Colin Driscoll]

A fine pic of a beautiful bird. It's frustrating when a twig shadow falls across a bird but in this case the bird dominates everything else!

[Melvin Grey]

Beautiful technical quality and nicely composed against a simple BG. I agree about keeping the questionable branch in because of the shadow it casts. We are, after all, photographing birds in their natural habitat and that often means that the actual situation is less than perfect.

[David Fletcher]

Love this as presented Harshad. Tack sharp and punchy colors. Keep as is, as removal raises other issues and the "impurities" make up the essence of the image. More important to me is the good use of space. Like it!

[Chris van Rooyen]

Harshad the colours, sharpness and composition is outstanding. I like it as is, but it would have been nice if all the branches were in focus.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I love the colors, BG, detail, sharpness, species and light, perch is nice but I am not crazy about it covering the bird.
Congratulations!

[Stu Bowie]

I like this Harshad. A different perch, and I really like the light and colours. Sharp, and stands out nicely against the BG.

[Gal Shon]

A beautiful and colorful male.
I like the BG, the direction of the perch, sharpness, HA, light, Comp and sharpness.
He looks a little too saturated.

[Rob Smith]
