Just beautiful! I would reduce the sharpening just a bit.

Ritesh,

Detail and Blue are definitely worthy in the title. The blue of the bird against the earth tones in the background really help the image pop.

Nice head turn, great focus point, and adequate dof. Nicely done!

Hi Ritesh, lovely pose and HA, and just love the striking blue on this species. You have brought out the detail on the head very well, and I would have liked to see a vertical version. :w3
