Beautiful looking bird Satish, and you captured it well, I love that look back pose. Lovely details and colours, especially on the head.

Great looking back pose, the open beak is a plus. The colors and textures are amazing, Satish.

Satish:

Nice look back pose with good eye contact, briliant red cap really helps it pop and separate a bit form the bg. Good DOF. Sharpening is right on the verge of being overdone on the back, but lots of personal tastes in sharpening.

Cheers

Not keen on the perch and harsh looking light. However, nice look-back pose, open bill and details.
Thanks for sharing Satish!

Great looking bird, Satish. Good details including the whiskers at base of beak. Excellent head turn.

What a great looking bird.
Beautiful color palette.IQ excellent.
I am not crazy about the perch and wish the light was a bit softer but certainly not a deal breaker.
Still a very nice image that I would love to have in my files.
