Rahul:

Nicely captured. I like the sharpness and exposure. The perch is interesting but not overpowering. Head angle very close, perhaps a degree or two more our way to be ideal, but nice as is. Simple, complimentary background.

I don't know this bird, but have the feeling the image could be just a bit lighter overall. The light looks pretty soft, yet must have been fairly bright to shoot with those parameters and an ISO of 160.

Thanks for sharing.

Great bird, very good image, geat comments by Randy.
Just a tiny head turn would go long way here. I love the perch and BG.
Congratulations!

Hi Rahul. I like the perch, BG, and soft light. Agree with the others about the head angle. I would like to see the bird a little brighter. And the head looks slightly oversharpened on my monitor.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Overall quite nice, but a better HA would have been tops! Beautiful bird with a pleasing rounded shape. I wouldn't mind more room at bottom as the lowest foot is rather close to the edge. Noise in the BG is a bit suspect for such low ISO...perhaps a combination of cropping and sharpening technique caused this.

Agree with the above comments. Nice species and perch, detail and light. Congratulaitons!

[Gal Shon]

Agree with Daniel's comments.
Lovely light and perch.
