A nice action shot and a dandy taking off pose. Very sharp with lots of detail and surprising amount of dof. Contrast on bird looks good to me. Perhaps the whites and bill could be toned down a bit they seem a bit bright. Also the top feathers on far wing seem a bit different but that could be my eyes or screen. Otherwise I like the nice contrast on the other wing feathers. It looks really good. Lots of definition on the bird.
Interesting colors in the bg.
Hi Jagdeep, nice flight pose and I like the wing, feet, and head position. I like how the image shows the environment as well. Nice details. I think I tend to dial in less contrast as most others in my own files. When I click on the largest version, I’d say I would have backed down slightly on the contrast. Still a well done image.
