Hi Abhi,

I like the composition and focus/DoF with this shot.

If mine I would;
a) reduce the exposure by half a stop
b) not sharpen it quite so much, the amount looks a bit over the top
c) clone out the couple of bright white spots visible through the fence over on the right
d) blur the sharply defined green apron(?) visible between the cobs in lower left corner

Hope that helps,

Thanks, Dave. I will try to address some of these issues. Will upload an updated version soon.

Here is an edited version:

I have darkened the white spots as I was not able to clone them out nicely, made the vignette stronger, dodged highlights on his face, and blurred the apron. I can't do much about sharpening as this was shot in JPEG mode. Let me know what you think.
