This is really a gem Kiran. I know the compression has caused the pixels to burst at the bottom which will not be there in the TIF files, the tones, the mood and composition is just so pleasing. Those branches in fog are even making me feel so nostalgic. Wonderful dear.

Kiran,
very pleasing , soft , moody, gentle, the fog lends a lovely character to this simple image..very nice

I could hardly relate to the scene when you were making this image...great seeing and equally beautiful processing... loved it Kiran!!

Kiran, I love bluish tones, fine sketchy branches and of course the bird. The setting is wonderful. I think the burning is a little obvious (look at the thumbnail, the square window is prominent). I think you have some scope to make it non-obvious or completely do away with it (keeping the darker tones throughout the frame) - Just my thoughts, see if that suits your taste buds. Thanks for sharing.

Thx everyone for the feedback.
Dada - thanks for ur words! But i didnt get exactly what you meant by pixel burst... can u pls explain?
GaneshaNNa - there was natural foreground-induced burning on the left side of the frame and to balance that I tried adding some more... which is what probably messed it all up... I will re-work! Thanks a lot for those words!

Kiran, I am not a vignetting fan. How does it look without it. However very beautiful setting and nice pencil work feel here.

loved this frame, Kiran. Echoing Shankar's qn: how does it look without the vignetting? beautiful image, regardless.
thanks,
A
