Jim, this is such a classic pose done really really well. He is such a handsome fellow and you have captures him well. The black looks really good here. And you’ve got a nice BG sort of echoing the reed that the bird is on. I would be inclined to remove the blue OOF corner on the lower right though. What do you think?
Thank you. These birds look like they are going to explode when singing. Adhika, I left the blue area during my editing as I liked the delicate color in the area. But I can see your point and it is something to do on a rainy day…Jim
