Excellent pose and light.

[Grant Yang]

Very nice image. The pose is perfect. I'd up the contrast near the tail of the bird slightly. It looks a little washed out like there may have been an oof leaf in front.

Excellent pose, perch & BG. Is there any OOF branch that is covered the rear part of the body?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Lovely shot Satish, the pose is excellent and the detail is equally good. Just about no noise either.

[Marina Scarr]

This is a very cool image, and I just LOVE the upside down pose and the perch. All came together very nicely for you here, and what a stunning bird.

Lovely Composition Satish, great looking details on this small bird
Exposure looks spot on for this dark bird, nice done

[Grace Scalzo]

Excellent pose! Nice colors and details.

[Bill Dix]

Lovely bird, Satish, with a great upside-down pose. Nice details except where some oof vegetation may have interfered. Hate it when that happens. Sometimes a bit of selective painting with the brush at low opacity 'Multiply' or other setting can help.

Stunning image! Amazing colours and love the pose...

Hi Satish, love the pose, and the light has brought out the iridescence nicely, especially against that killer smooth BG. Great detail and sharpness on the head. Well captured.

coolpose and great detail on the face. I like the open bill and the great gleam in the eye

[Sidharth Kodikal]

The iridescence is capture so nicely and I really like the acrobatic pose. Bg is excellent and it looks great for the high ISO!

[David Salem]

Beautiful bird well captured Satish. Love the pose,colors and the detail in this one.
wish the leaf hadn't covered it but I like the idea of working that area, should be able to bring it back nicely. Well done
