Beutiful image and eye contact.The pic has come sharp.Very good picture

[Amit Kalele]

Beautiful image. nice details. My only nit is cutoff tail. Or if you have enough pixels , you can opt for a portrait crop.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Lovely eye contact. The details and the clean background enhances it further. Some more space at the bottom than on the top would have been good. I think you might have many more in this series , did you zoom out and try to get the bird in full? Thanks for sharing.

Agree with the previous comments. Reducing the saturation a bit will help in containing the highlight on the leg. There seems to be a sensor dust.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

The composition is nice. A bit more space at the bottom would have been better. Agree about the bright leg. Thanks for sharing.
