    Very beautifully taken with nice blur blue bokeh.

    Siddharth, loved the low angle. IQ looks terrific for iso800. wishing for a better HA though. If mine, I'd crop a tad from bottom and add a bit at top.

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Kaustubh, IQ looks ok in this resized version. At 100%, there is a some noise on the bird as well.
    I was set up for flight photography and took a couple shots with those settings before changing, but then the bird didn't give me the same looks.
    Your NR pointers had me experimenting this weekend. I did end up with a method which I applied on the bg here. Agree about the HA; interestingly, moving the catchlight to the right gave me the perception of a perfect HA. It was just an experiment, I didn't go with that of course.
    This is almost FF, but I will try your recommended comp.
    Thanks.
