Hi Sanjeev,

Beautiful color and nice composition for the portrait. Nice sharp eye! I would have liked a bit more DOF to get some more feather detail and focus on the beak.

Really nice Sanjeev. The selective depth of field really brings out the eye. Nice and sharp. It is easy to over-expose the red channel with subjects like this. If you look at the head area you will see reds that look, for lack of a better word, strange.

Take a look at these threads which I think you will find useful:

Thank you John, I went through those excellent and informative threads. I will keep that in mind and play with the adjustments to avoid blowing out the reds.
Regards
Sanjeev
