Beautiful dove species. I like the soft light, BG and eye contact. You could have gone to a higher ISO to prevent or diminish the motion blur. I would also tone down the whites on the head and run NR on the BG.
Wow, a dove with a parakeet's wing colours! Very tropical:) I personally don't mind the foot blur, although I admit I would prefer it perfectly sharp. Adding to Axel's comments I do wish the head was angled our way a bit more, and find the dark FG OOF object in the LRC distracting.
niranjan bhai this is truly amazing bird and you captured it very well. apart from said suggestion i would clone down that dark patch on right bottom corner which i think you tried to cut in frame already.
to my personal choice i liked that marching pose and the motion blur of one leg. i may try to clone that dark blakish patch just behind head as well to give more attention to dove.
my only wish is to get this in larg widescreen format so i can put this on my newly installed Win7 desktop :)
Niranjan, awesome shot of a bird not easy to photograph. I dont mind the head angle since it is walking. A little sharpening of the bird will also help. Colors are captured perfectly. Just like they appear...not oversaturated at all.
