Nice clean background. The pose and the eye contact is nice. Some more sharpness would be good. Where was the AF point? Thanks for sharing.

The background look like pastel colours.

Though you have said 20% crop, this looks like a fairly large crop. One way of measuring the crop is by using this formula. One can just save it in an excel sheet.

Original dimensions: Horizontal (A) and Vertical (B)
Cropped dimensions: Horizontal (C) and Vertical (D)
The amount of crop means the area discarded from the original. So a 20% crop means 20% of the area has been cropped out or thrown away. That means the new image is 80% of the original.

The amount of crop in % is: [{(A*B)-(C*D)}/(A*B)]*100

did you mean to say your image is 20% of the original image and 80% discarded?

Dear Sir,

I think I'm doing some mistake or some thing wrong while resizing .Usually I use only canon DPP for coverting and editing ,when I use CS4 for copyright notice and further resizing in MS office picture manager and after uploading in web ,I think every detail is lost.

Here is another shot of Ashy prinia Uncropped and direct from canon Dpp.

Your expert advice is needed.

Thanks for viewing and coments.

Thank you.

Simply saving a jpeg file multiple times will reduce its quality. I can understand that the copyright notice option is not there in DPP (Digital Photo Professional) so you are taking the file to CS4. However, what is the need to again crop in microsoft office manager?

Better to do the resizing only once directly from the RAW. I would suggest that if you want to work on the file, then convert to a TIFF file in DPP and then work on it. Convert to jpeg at the final stage of your workflow.
