What a gorgeous pose with a great perch and lovely BG! The backlight is stunning!!

[Allen_Brooks]

Fantastic light, Jagdeep, with the perfect pose. Nice background and perch.

[Dennis_Plank]

Beautiful job on the backlight and bringing up the shaded side just enough, Jagdeep. A gorgeous image.

[Jeffrey_Sipress]

I love backlit avian images even though the ‘rule’ is to have light coming from behind you to the birds face. This excellent image utilizes backlighting very well. A beauty.

[Allen_Sparks]

The backlighting works very well while still having details in the shadows. An intriguing image.

[Dave_Douglass]

Very nice image. I love the backlighting, and all the feather textures.
