Harshad:

I like the soft light/rainy day feel. Sharp, well exposed.

I might consider cloning out the leaves exiting the left side of the frame (above and below tail) and also to tone down the bright leaves in the LRC. I used the burn tool at 20% and made a few passes to lower the luminosity a bit, and felt it concentrated the attention more on the bird.

Cheers

here is repost

Harshad:

I think that is better, less distraction from the foliage. Did you do your work on the jpeg? There seems to be some more compression issues popping up in the background, but on the RAW I suspect it looks very good.

The other thing I played with was some slight cropping changes. I think there is perhaps a bit too much free space above. Certainly don't need a repost, but might be worth trying a bit more of a pano loop.

Cheers

Sharp and super detail and colours. Lovely BG

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Repost looks good Harshadbhai. Lovely setting and the rain is nice too. :)

The repost looks better, but I am not really sure I like the color of the BG. It looks a bit to artificial rather than a more natural green.

Great exposure, HA, and perch. I like the rain too.

[Sid Garige]

Like the repost Harshad. Very nice background and details.

Very well done Harshad, nice green BG, bird is very sharp and well exposed and you have eye contact. This is only my opinion but I would leave the leaves in LLH and just clone out the one that is obscuring the tail. this way you have vegetation at both lower corners which balances the frame IMO.

rain is a plus too!
