    Hi
    Sharing an image of the Siamese Fireback. Not really well isolated from the background but I like the way the green moss complements this striking bird. Love to hear your thoughts! Thanks.

    Beautiful image of this stunning bird! I like the habitat and the bird stands out beautifully. If anything would like to see the bird slightly smaller in the frame.

    Outstanding in every respected, Loong-Tat. What a beautiful bird !

    I agree with the suggestion of a slightly looser presence in the frame.

    And to really get radical, I'd even consider a second presentation of an tight close-up, portrait-style, of the head, neck and top of the shoulder.

    Those spectacular reds would make it work.

    nice pose colors and habitat. Feather details are lacking a bit, it seems like you ran too much NR that smoothened the details

    Beautiful image Loong-Tat. I like the look back pose. BG looks fine to me. Head looks sharp but feather detail is lacking - perhaps too much NR, as Arash suggested.

    Hi
    Thanks a lot for the comments! Much appreciated. I had a look at my RAW file again and you are absolutely right about the de-noiseing. I use Nik Define program and it usually does an okay job even on the subject. I have reworked the image and have reposted it ,hopefully with a better result. Thanks again.
