This is excellent Satish,
IQ is topnotch and the BG is lovely.
You have captured the blue perfectly.
Perfect HA and the eye is so nice and clear.
I am OK with the lighter area in the RUC but could also see a version with the area burned or cloned in,

Very good portrait, look at that beak and background shows off the subject.
Love the electric blue wings and i'm okay with light area on background.
