Harshad:

Nice pose with excellent head angle for look back pose. Soft light, well exposed, sharp, composition.

I would burn in some of the brighter spots in the background, just to keep our eye on the bird. He is so softly lit, that the brighter spots in the BG do pull our attention.

Cheers

Randy

here is my version. what do you say bout this ?

[Rakesh Gupta]

Beautiful image but I prefer Mital's version this time.

Wow, what a good looking bird. Angle a bit steep, but you get them where you can. Great EXP and feather detail. I prefer the original but taste is very personal.

[Stu Bowie]

Excellent sharp feather detail Harshad, and good timing to capture the look back pose. I would maybe blend in the light spots in the BG. Overall, a fine image.

[subramanya_ck]

Beautiful pose. I liked both versions

[Michael Zajac]

I like the OP better. Beautiful details and pose. Great looking eye. Might blend the BG a bit more.

Both post have look good, just that slight temp diff, loved the Ha, details and pose bhai, congrats..

Well done on the sharpness, especially hand-holding a lens that big. What was the shutter speed? Bird perhaps a bit high for my liking, but the head angle is great, and the eye contact makes up for the less than ideal perspective. Background is lovely.
