A delightful little bird and shot Satish. Thje vegetation composes the whole shot perfectly in my view.
Good stuff indeed.

Satish:

Handsome bird, nice background, good color harmony, perch is well scaled to him.

I wish his head was a sliver more our way.

Interesting looking at your cropping options. My first thought was to crop in a bit closer, but I didn't find the perfect crop spot, without doing some cloning and removal of some of the stems. Plus, I am not sure the IQ would tolerate a sig. tighter crop.

Glad he dropped in your area!

Cheers

Attractive colors here, Satish and a nice crop for the theme.
I might clone out the oof vegetation.

[Bill Dix]

Great bird, lovely colors working nicely between bird and bg. Good comp. All coming together nicely and perfect for the theme.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Well done on the composition, really nice! Very appealing background too. The perch and subject are top notch. A bit more head angle our ay as Randy points out would have worked well. Nicely done Satish!

Really well done here Satish, a delightful perch and such tender tiny vegetation to compliment the sweet stonechat. Terrific colors and overall composition.

[Marina Scarr]

This is a gem of an image, Satish. Nice to have this migrant stop by, and nicer still, you were there to capture this outstanding image. Love the light you have to work with, the delicate perch and beautiful BG.

Hello Satish, the Background, the Colors and first...the composition. great shot from this siberian "Schwarzkehlchen" we say in germany. only a little bit different to our European Stonechat

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the perch, complimentary BG and composition. Nice image Satish.

Quite a pleasing image, Satish. I like the hints of flowers on the stems. Sure the head could be turned a bit but I get the impression that he is hunting for a bug and ignoring you, so it really does not deter from my enjoyment of the photograph.

[William Dickson]

Beautiful, and very appealing to the eye. Great work
