    Lovely bird very nicely captured! Maybe a bit big in the frame.

    I really like this image. I like the pose and very nice soft and complimentary colours.

    The only small nit is that a bit of tail is covered by the small stick.

    The one foot up adds a lot for me.

    Great pose and bg. IMG is sharp and well exposed. Like the glint in the eye

    Cool bird. Good COMP and EXP. For the repost I cleaned up the LLC, added the tail tip as best as I could, and lightened the black of the face, all as described in Digital Basics. (Update coming any second!)

    Artie did exactly what I was going to suggest only other thing would be some more space around the subject

    Repost vastly improves the esthetics of the image. I wouldn't mind more room around but like it this way too. Love the crest, techs look spot on, and details very nice.

    YAW Rakesh. I uses the Clone Stamp Tool and a series of small Quick Masks (with Layer Masks addes). I took as guess as to the lighter tail tip as there was a hint of that in the original....
