Welcome to BPN, Sanjay! Nice first post, I like the angle and soft light. I would run noise reduction on the background and wish there were more details in the plumage. Keep them coming!

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Big welcome Sanjay! I echo Axel's comments and would add that the pose is lovely and that you have captured an excellent head angle too :)

[Dan Busby]

Very nice Sanjay. Nice pose and good head angle. It would be nice to have more detail in the feathers and running noise reduction would improve the background. But a good start on BPN!

Thank you Nicki Dan Axel.
I would love and improve on those suggestions.
At present I use NN,
I think I use that on background aggressively.
