Mital - Great lighting, detail, BG, and HA. This loose comp looks good to me.

Hi Mital: This little stonechat must have studied the guidelines for head angle because it is looking right over to you. Bokeh is gorgeous green and the color on the bird looks nice and natural. I like the composition because a vertical would be a problem as the bird would be looking out at the edge of the frame. Nice work.

Very simple, the compo is great and so is the clarity.

Mital, I like the inquisitive pose, with a good HA. I like the light and colours, and this is nice and sharp. I would maybe take at least half off the top. Good space infront.

A nice little bird and a clean BG. Love the light here. I only find the bird too small in the frame.

Mital, Beautiful details. The BG is lovely. I like the horizontal crop but would take a little off the top and right. Very nice light and pose.
