    I like the BG, the "perch", and the lighting. I love that you have shown another example of what can be accomplished with a lens that doesn't get enough respect.

    Beautiful image, gentle light and great detail, wonderfully complimentary colours.

    Really nice image Trivedi! Bird looks really good with great light and nice sharpness. I might back off a little on the BG blurring, if in fact that's what you did. There are a couple of areas with some PS artifact that could be cleaned up at the junction between grass and BG (I'm including a repost with the artifact circled in red).

    Hi, liked the composition, sharpness and head turn. Liked the grass as well. BG does indeed look blurred in post....let us know if it is. The areas pointed out by Doug seem to suggest that.

    Hello all, thanks a lot for your kind words. Yes I've applied a bit of the blur in BG. It's because the BG didn't had the smooth feel as generally we all get because the grass in BG was quite near to subject & was not in control of DOF of camera. I applied Blur to give the smooth feel so details of bird can not be taken away by it. If I'm wrong than please let me know as I always learn something new from you all & appreciate your feedback a lot.....
