Hi Satish, lovely light and colours, and comp wise, you have enough space all round. Although you mentioned you have applied NR to the BG, I feel it requires additional NR.

Nice details and intense colors. Agree on more NR. Nice reflection in the eye. Nice work, Satish.

You have gotten great advice re: NR.
Good IQ. Wouldn't mind a slightly looser composition,

More NR from me as well. Still a killer close-up with super fine details.

I love "studio portraits" like this -- good work!

I like the close-up composition, sharpness and details. More NR on BG already mentioned. There is a little white speck on the lower pupil that I would clone out. Nice image Satish.
