Hi,

I liked the head angle and the nice clear background.The image is sharp, try reducing the saturation a bit.

Is this a crop?

Chandrashekhar,

Nice clean background. A fish on the beak would have been fantastic. (Sorry. I dream a lot).

This image needs a little bit brightening, about 1/3rd stops. What is that orange band at the top? Is this a crop. If so, how much.

When you are using 50D, try to see that the histogram is more towards the right on the fifth box. That would help in tackling the issue of noise.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
