    Hi Somak...lovely colour and comp. The bird looks a tad over sharpened, and did you run alot of strong noise reduction on all but the bird? As it seems to have affected the texture of the rock. I think a rework of this image and you are gonna have a superb image!

    Background complements this bird well. Since you don't have enough DOF to handle the rock, you might try a vertical crop

    I don't mind the placement of the bird in this comp, but I agree a vertical would be nice too. Using a combination of the clone and patch tools I would eliminate the whitewash on the rock. Some people don't mind that, but artistically speaking I would prefer the rock cleaned-up. Good pose from your subject!

    P.S. Wish I could see the image in a larger version:)

    Somak, I like the shot, except the crop is a bit too tight on the right.

    Great image, color very good. It may be just a bit oversharpened .
