Nice image with a lovely perch and a clean BG...

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Nice clean BG, love the compo too.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Lovely. You got it nice in the open. Sharp. Nice clear BG. Nice composition.

[Anup Ranadive]

Nice shot Apana.

I guess this is a full frame image. Would cropping it a bit help?

[Sagar Patil]

Hi Apna,

Lovely shot and framing.
Re-posting it after some PP if you don't mind :confused:.
Added some more contrast (15%), sharpening (8-10%) and very little natural color boost (4-5%).

I like the pose and the perch. I like this composition with lot of space at the left. One can easily insert some nice text.

I liked the sharpening done in Sagar's repost. I think the colours have now become more deeper than what you actually find.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Hi Sagar,

Don't mind the re-post at all. Agree with Sabyasachi regarding the sharpening, but the colours need to be slightly muted.
