Corbett ( Bijrani ) C&C welcome


wISH !! I had some know-how of ( ROCKET-SCIENCE ) Photoshop tools for cloning-out these unwanted twigs.

Lovely perch and eye contact. The clean background compliments the bird. A slight off-centered composition with less space on the left and more on the right would be good.
It is good that you didn't clone the twigs. In IndiaWilds we encourage everyone to do as minimal processing as possible and include the habitat without cloning. It is best to not use Photoshop and get the best composition while in the field. Thanks for sharing.

The eye contact is nice.

Don't worry about the cloning bit. There are thousands of web designers with half your qualifications doing it day in and day out. It is better to focus on improving photographic skills. The time would be more productive spending in the field than in front of a computer.

In most of the wildlife photographic applications like editorial and magazine and in competitions, cloning is a strict no.
