Hi Praveen. Nicly spotted but by far not as good as your previous two shot. Lack of feather detail and sharpness round the beak. TFS. Seppie

Quite nice although I find that the details are getting subdued. If you give it a light processing (in PhotoShop or anything else), then the details in the feature will stand out. Also the area around the eye. With a mask, you can work on level & curves and it would work well especially if you can work on a RAW file. Downsizing has also added some artifacts to the background.

Great capture, Praveen of this Kingfisher and his pose very nicelly captured here on this branch. Good sharpness and fine details. Use Shadow/Lighting option will help you here with add more brightness for some dark areas here, especially on bird's head. Well seen. Regards, Michal.

Fine portrait, good pose of the kingfisher, together with the place in the picture, good for the composition. The lighting gives good sharpness and DOF, but the bird looks a bit dark, use a fill-in flash could help, also it gives fine cat-lights in the eye.
