PS , My first try with BIF

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Nice wing down position and I love the overwing details. Good HA and nice eye contact, exposure looks good too. The wing appear to be sharper than the head and I might run a bit of NR. By the way, is this a heavy crop?

Nice downstroke wing position Harshad, like the catchlight. Wouldn't have noticed until Thanaboon pointed out the sharpness, but still a lovely image IMO. Very good first try at BIF, what was your SS?

Hi Harshad,
I like the capture, you have fine wing details, love the down stroke, the eye needs a tad of sharpening, would also recommend adding more canvas to the right side of the frame...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

hi - pretty much all covered above - does look like the point of focus may have been on the wing.

Like the wing position and nice dtails in the wings :)

It is possible to use on point and place on the shoulder but most often is just the luck of the draw !! Love it as presented, fine downstroke, head position and most of all love the shadow detail. Having a clearly visible eye on these is a must and you got it !!! Big Congrats !!!

Good one Harshad! Love the wing position, exposure, details, and composition. Well done!!

Nice bird and handsome capture. Great wing position and I love the complimentary BG color.
