Hi Harshad,

Beautiful pose and BG, like the diagonal perch. If I were in your shoes I would definitely crank up the ISO to 800 and stop down to f/11 to cover the entire bird in 600mm dof.

Nice colors and a great background -- a vertical crop may improve the picture -- or -- crop some off the left to bring the bird off center.

Super pose Harshadbhai, and I like the sharpness. Comp wise, I would move him to the left, and either create a vertical, or less space on the right.

Harshad:

Sharp, well exposed,nice HA, generally pleasing BG. The perch is so straight, makes me wonder if it is a vegetation incrusted wire? I like the soft swaths of vegetation in the BG esp for the darker area towards the right frame edge, and might try a crop to eliminate that, as suggested above.

Cheers

Randy

Beautifully captured with a wonderful pose Harshad. I would be tempted to crop a little more all around if it were more. Fine work and thanks for sharing.

harshad sir,

i would have touched f8, to cover the bird.
lovely composition and light !

Harshad, I think this is one of those photos where square crop will give the best balance. But I like it a lot as presented too. Excellent pose and sharpness. I like shallow DOF so dont mind it here.

[Steve Canuel]

Nice pose by the bird and I like the perch. I think this would work nicely as a vertical with the perch almost splitting the frame from corner to corner. The golden yellow hue of the bird matches the green BG nicely.

Wonderful shot of this little guy Harshad, perfect presentation for my tastes!:cool:
