I would like to see the background in focus. Did you crop from the right and bottom? How did you process this image?

The head turn and eye contact is nice. Why only f5.6? The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Yes sir i croped it from the right and bottom.The post processing was done using PhotoScape.:001_smile:

Suraj, the head turn looks good.

A narrower aperture would have given more depth of field which is needed to provide better details of the habitat.

55-250 lens is a bit soft at f5.6. However sharpness improves significantly between f8 - f11.

Capturing habitat images at f8 will give you better results in terms of image quality. Increasing the ISO to 400 will help in low light conditions.

Playing around with settings will give you better understanding of what your camera can do and will help you gain better control.

Keep shooting. TFS
