    Kiran, excellent colors, sharpness, exposure, clean BG and head angle. If you have more room there, would love to see a tad on top.

    The bird looks great; perfectly exposed and very sharp. I'd like a bit more canvas up top and on the left.

    Thank you all for your kind words of encouragment and Sure Guruji, I vow all the improvements to BPN.

    @ Doug Bhai and KD Bhai: at first I added some canvas around but removed it thinking it was too much, I have posted this one with more canvas around. Hope it looks ok...

    Thanks agian,

    Regards,

    Kiran

    Both compos work for me, the second would be my choice for a print. Perfect in every way, down to the little puff of grass, congrats!
