Hey Kiran,
I can't add much....very, very , nice!!! I do like how you tamed the 40D for noise at ISO 800 too!

[Nagesh Mula]

This is your favorite species. Congrats Kiran!!

[Suzanne Huot]

One word sums this up for me ,PERFECTION

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you all for you kind words of appreciation and Encouragement.

@ Roman Bhai, I used NI on the BG, also in ok light ISO 800 is quite manageable in the 40D. its only when its get a bit dark or patches of black in the BG it goes bad.

[Arthur Morris]

Kiran-bhai, Alan Murphy and I are sitting here marveling at your artistry. The soft light, BKGR, and the perfect HA put this one over the top for me.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you Guruji, such words from you puts me on top. Thank you for the encouragemant..
