Shot near Manjira barrage, Sangareddy, AP. Lot of Munias and Bayas were frolicking on the wild grasses on the side of paddy fields, first time I could get so close to them, happy flocks.

Nice to see these silverbills enjoying on the crops. Good eye contact. Is there a slight bluish tint on the beak? Reducing the saturation just a bit would be good (maybe it is my monitor, not sure). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback, Mrudul. The birds were on the wild grasses in the left over places between fields, these are kind of water logged patches where luxuriant grasses grow. I agree about the tint , I increased the saturation in PP by 10 points and missed noticing that it has introduced the tint.

I agree with the previous comments. Instead of the saturation you should slightly increase the vibrance. When you increase the saturation slider, it increases the saturation across the board. It is important to keep the colours natural.

Sure sir. no more saturation going forward. Thanks for giving the tips.
