Nice perch and wingspread. Nice composition.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

The wing spread looks nice. The image seems to be a bit dark, some more brightness would be good. What time was this clicked? Was the light harsh? The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sakti and Mrudul.
It was taken around 9 in the morning, not ideal, but not too harsh either.

The image is dark. You need to brighten it. You also need to lift the shadows a bit. I am told that in some photosharing sites in India this look is preferred. I fail to understand why. The best images are created in the best light and the processing should be minimal to retain the look. Most of the times too much of processing degrades the image.

Slightly reduce the saturation as well. If this is not a large crop, then increasing the ISO would have been fine. The wingspread is fine. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thank You Sabyasachi.
Is this better? I have increased the brightness, lifted the shadows, and reduced the saturation a bit.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Yes. This one is better. We can see more details now. A wider composition would have worked better.
