Rahul:
Very sharp, nice angle in frame, good eye,pleasant background. I like the way the talons are arched up on the hard surface.
Cheers

Hi Rahul - Nice pose and colors with a pleasing bg. Looks like a hot spot on the chest but not a deal breaker.
TFS,

Lovely portrait, rahul...personally I think it could take some more sharpening, but that's no deal breaker by any means.

So cute and nice swallow!
Good light, pose and sharpness. I wish the bird was on a natural perch tough.

Beautiful swallow!! Nice when they pause for you eh! Good details and BG. If mine I would darken the pupil and tame the brighter whites. I would also have preferred a looser composition but I suspect you may have wanted to minimize the man-made perch?
