Great to see you back. You have been missing some great stuff from all over the world. Love this image, the soft light, the image design, the bird's plumage, and the perfect head angle. Do you know if this is the male or the female?

Thanks a lot Guru yes indeed i am missing many great stuff since was missing on BPN. Hope now onward can carry on regular.
Well yes this is Male Bird.
What a lovely bird! Nice soft light & shooting angle with excellent sharpness & detail. TFS
Although I wouldn't mind a bit more room right and top I'm really enjoying this fine image. Nice details, exposure, pose. Too bad about the grass blade running along the near leg, but that is just a bit of bad luck. Very well done!!
P.S. Welcome back!!
Really nice light, pose and comp. Great to see you and your high quality images back.
Excellent image. Love the low angle, feather detail and soft colors. Also good job handling the lens @1000mm.
How far were you from the bird? Did you use the 2X MK III?
I would consider cropping a bit at the bottom (40% of the room below the feet).
Very nice looking bird in good light. You got good detail for the 2x TC.
Enjoy you images, so hope you to see many more again.

Mital, nice to see you are back. Great shot.

Welcome back buddy and a good start . lovely shot but i would reduce some brightness just like i have posted below
Excellent image Mital with a good bg going down on the brightness has surely bought out more colours and details on the bird
