    image is too small for critique.

    better now, nice colors and details, the light was a bit harsh and the perch is not ideal with the side branch.

    keep them coming

    Hi Satish,

    I thought the smaller image was also ok to critique on artistic merit, composition etc. The larger image is indeed better to judge sharpness.

    The upright branch serves quite well as extra framing in my opinion, so no prob there. It would have been nicer if the shadow from the upright branch hadn't caught the bird though.

    I don't know this species, so can't comment on how rare it is. Should it be a rare species then a clear, sharp photo like this will be excellent, regardless of a shadow. The bright sun hitting the orange breast is great.

    You could run some noise reduction on the background, and it would have been nice if it was a more even colour, but that rarely happens when the bird is in a bush.

    I think you meant "Inconvenience"

    Beautiful bird, and I like the comp (more than your previous thread). Now I see what caused the shadow on the subject, too bad it didn't perch an inch more to the left! BG is a bit blotchy (opening-up the aperture could have helped smooth it out more), and I would tone down the perch.

    Except cropping and sharpening no post processing has been done .This is residential bird. Thank you very much for your appreciation, comments and suggestions.

    Satish.

    I think there are some problems with this image, including a busy background and a little too much contrast. But I welcome you as a relative newcomer to BPH. And your bird is lovely.

    With a few tweaks you might make this better, but I think you have great potential and look forward to your future BPN contributions!

    I like the colours on the flycatcher, and agree having moved to our left would have got rid of the shadow from the tree. You have achieved relatively good sharpness, and yes, toning down the perch would work well. Creating a vertical may work just as well too.
