Lovely pose on the bird Ritesh and a"my type" of background I would tone down the brighter part of the perch.
Good one

A very nice shot of the species and you've got some nice details considering the light angle wasn't the best.
I like The perch and the background also. Well done

Lovely look back pose with good DOF. I wonder if tonalities are just a bit flat? If you use LR/ACR, a touch of Clarity might be worth a look, or back off on whatever adjustments were used to bring down highlights are raise shadows. The brighter right side of the perch could be dealt with separately, possibly with a gradient darkening and some crop there. I have the feeling I want to see more happening on the right to balance the weight of the bird.

Beautiful bird, love the colors here and the HA, details look good too, nice job, its lovely and the BG is so complimentary!

Lovely bird, nice perch and background, all work well together. Thank you for sharing, Ritesh.

Beautiful frame, I love the colours throughout the image. Nice pose and HA on the bird. I'm with Diane on the tonalities being a wee bit flat. Thanks for sharing.

Blue birds are so cool. The back looking pose shows the blue feathers very well. The image does look a little flat to me too. I also feel there is a bit too much dead space on the right, but don't have better suggestion for alternate crop. Loi
