Satish, nice looking bird in good light and BG. Love the red eye. The perch seems pretty large and ominant to me. I'd suggest cropping tighter to show the bird if you can. Loi

Satish;

Some lovely colors, rich. Very interesting perch, with lots of detail, but as Loi mentioned, it does overpower the bird a bit. Unfort in the crop the IQ has started to suffer.

I might try a compromise with minor crop of original, but also lower the luminosity and possibly contrast of the perch just a bit so it doesn't dominate the bird.

Even the original could use a bit more sharpening on the face/eye area.

Cheers

Randy

Satish, a rich tapestry of colors and texture. Repost with smaller perch works.

I would take about an inch off the bottom and that is all.
I like the perch, not too dominate for me as the bird is really colorful and unique and
holds it own.
Maybe sharpen the head just a bit.
Attractive photo!

Hi Satish, quite a colourful lady, and I like the feather detail. I feel the comp in your OP is fine, perch not too overpowering for my taste, but agree just a little off the bottom as Dan suggested. Wish she had turned her head a tad towards you. :w3

I agree with Dan and Stuart. Take off just a bit off the bottom and done. I love the unique perch and I think it adds to the shot as the birds colors pop off the perch and looks great. Nice capture Satish
