This is simply lovely! Striking pose & colors. Wonderful curved perch, simple yet adding lots of visual interest as it gracefully stretches from edge to top. Beautiful mottled bkgd colors. I would maybe darken just a tiny bit the brightest area of the highlights in the bkgd surrounding the tail tip & in front of the bird.

Very lovely! I love the BG, pose and perch! Would be interesting to see how it would work with highlights toned down a bit and shadow detail brought up just a small amount.

Welcome Kamal-bhai. This is a stunner. Super sharp. Gorgeous bird. If anything, you might try using a 40% opacity Clone Stamp Tool on the lighter areas of the BKGR. Head angle is perfect. On my new Mac it looks as if the lores might go just a but brighter. What are folks seeing on their PCs?
