    Default Paddyfield Pipit

    This is from one of my early birding days. Re-processed this image.

    Nice! I like the alert pose, nice perch, and beautiful BG (except for the two brighter vertical lines). I'd see if you can reduce the highlights on the leg, and I wonder what is the triangle at the base of the tail?

    Thanks Daniel. The traingle is pp error. Even I missed that. I was trying to adjust the exposure with layer mask and I think I didn't recover that part :(

    I like this capture very much. Your perch works for me as is and I love your BG> My only issue is that your bird needs some sharpening, esp its head. Well done.

    Somak, pose, shooting angle and HA are excellent. My main issue with this is that the focus seems to be a tad behind the bird...the vegetation near the feet at the edge of the perch seems sharper than rest of the image. I also think it needs more room on top and less in front.

    Kaushtubh and Marina- I agree with you both on the sharpness. I could have done better. Thanks for your suggestions.
