I love to shoot during golden hour. Photo captured during this period has always rewarded me with images having wonderful warmth and feel that’s impossible to capture at any other time of the day!

Nice perch. Liked the catchlight on the eye. I agree the early morning and late afternoon light is nice and soft and best for photography. Is this a crop? The image looks a bit soft. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mrudul Mam for C&C..Yes this is a cropped image..My copy of Sigma is slightly softer at 500mm! However the image quality drastically improves if I use a slightly narrower aperture like F 10/F11..But using such a narrow aperture in low light setting is not always feasible..

Nice to see this. Have you done any noise reduction?

I think your image got resized by the software to 1024x683 pixels and 127 kb. What file size did you upload?

Thanks Sir..The dimension of the original pic was 4008X2672 pixel and 4.1 MB. Background NR was done during processing!
