@Archana Belekar The area, densely vegetated with dark green leaves, was shrouded in shadow. Yet fortunately, the light fell upon the subject. The photo was initially a bit underexposed, but the exposure was later increased selectively on the bird to enhance its details.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.🙂 I also had the same thought and went ahead with a vertical crop, which I uploaded on my Instagram yesterday. However, I considered that people might be viewing this platform on laptops/desktops more than mobile phones, so I opted for a landscape ratio to ensure it looks better in that context.
