Ram, you have captured a good pose, and I like the blue on him. You have achieved pretty good sharpness for the slow ss, and he does stand out against the darker BG. Maybe a little tight in the LRC, and I find the OOF branch running up the RHS as a bit distracting.

nice pose, the head turn saves the fact that the bird is angled away, critical focus point seems to be on the shoulder and there is some noise. colors are great though! Agree with Stu regarding the OOf branch. keep them coming!

Lovely bird. The HA is great but head is a bit soft. I agree with Stu re a bit tight in LLC
Gail
like stu said i was thinking the same and seeing your recent images ram i think you are missing on pure whites a bit.
may be you should consider going through level or curves whatever suites your to make them pure.
Nice as above. Needed some TLC. Lightened (Tim Grey dodge and burn) and sharpened face. 30% Clone Stamp Tool on the dark BKGR--just a quickie job on the latter. All as per Digital Basics.
