    Default Male Rock Thrush

    Hi,

    Another shot from Arsanjan with my dear friend Morteza Nemati.
    Cropped for composition,one distracting branchhas been eliminated in the background & slight selective sharpening has been applied on bird's body.

    Thanks for looking.

    Mohsen:

    Very attractive bird, like the varied patterns and colors.

    Sharp, well exposed, nice background.

    I would really consider toning down the leaves. Because they are bright and out of focus, quite distracting.

    Cheers

    You did a great job with the subject, which has incredible detail and a nice pose. But those leaves really detract from an otherwise excellent portrait. Do you have enough pixels to go with a tight head shot? That's the direction I'd take this frame.

    excellent HA, details and light. I agree with Doug that the FG OOF leaves distract from the image. It looks like have enough pixels to opt for a head-only crop.
