ps I dont have canvas in bottom

[Stu Bowie]

Harshad, I like the walking pose with the slightly raised leg, and good to see the breeding colours. This comp works fine, but I can see this as a vertical too. It would be quite easy to extend canvas at the bottom if needed.

A real beauty Harshad the bird really pops from that pretty BG excellent detail and pose.

Harshad, I like the pose and BG colors.The slight raised foot w/ the breeding colors is very nice. Agree a tiny bit more room on bottom. Nicely done.

nice shot harshad. to me this would have been a tack sharp with the equipment you have. little smooth to my taste. also a bit cw rotation required. very surreal image.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful plumage and excellent whites. Shame the foreground is partially covering the raised foot.

[David Fletcher]

Lovely shot Harshad. Took the liberty to add some canvas as suggested, and a couple of rounds of Smart Sharpen on the bird only at 60%, 0.6. Hope have not overdone your fine shot. Border added just to "hold" image in.

Love the contrasting colors of bird and BG. Wish for a fully visible foot. I like the suggestion of a vertical crop as well.
