Lovely soft light and BG, Asad. I like the vegetation. OOF stone LLC is a distraction. Image looks a little soft but may just be a sharpening for web issue. A slight head turn toward you would have balance the angled away pose better. I would have increased to ISO to gain SS. D300 is pretty clean up to 800 and a bit of noise is preferable to blur.
I like the background and the touch of vegetation around the subject. The vegetation flower colour is a similar tone to the birds legs which I like.
The OOF area is a distraction and overall it looks a little light on my screen.
Great light image and overall feel with the vegetation, SH not bad for hand-held but bit more sharpening could help.
OOF LLH corner is distracting but the plant looks very nice. I like the fact that you have it on rock isolated
with feet visible. Very nice overall.
Nice bird and nice low angle Asad! I agree with the comments below and would add that a little highlight in the eye would improve this! You could use a tiny bit of fill flash for this, even with a pop up flash (or, add it in PS:eek:).
I like the setting and pose, comp looks nice. To ad a ctachlight might givesome more "life" to the subject's look, also, a better HA would've been great.Congratulaitons.
