Beautiful bird, nice job with light angle. Wish perch wasn't so big. Congrats

Wonderful species. Glad to see some texture in the background to keep it interesting (I would be interested in seeing a non-blurred background to better understand why you wanted to blur it). Has the blur done something to the underside of the far wingtip? Perhaps it is just the matching tonality that makes it look so to me. Unlike Brian, I am a fan of the perch. Excellent image.

Harshad, I like the light quality, and sharpness in this. Lovely majestic pose, and like the colourful BG. I agree there seems to be a bit of spill over of some work LLC, and there is a small clone mark visible in front of the talon. DStill well captured.

Phew! Super bird and pose Harshad. Couple of points mentioned and with some TLC will polish up nicely. Well done.

[John Chardine]

Absolutely superb Harshad. Fantastic pose and head angle. I like the BG but it does have "that gaussian blur look". Maybe you could tone this down a bit. I would have also removed that little stick by the legs.

Beautiful Harshad, excellent BG. PSe asnd composition is quite nice too.

Gorgeous bird!
Love the stare of this guy and BG. The perch seems large but it's fine.

Just a bit tight for me in the LLC but I love the perch's character! Incredible! Gorgeous bird too and sharp for the SS used. TFS
