Really like the way you worked the bird but find the OOF perch a bit dominating in part do to it's size.

Another great shot of this colorful little bird, Satish; and the prey is a real bonus. I agree the perch seems too large for our artistic tastes, but it was obviously the bird's choice.

This bird is always going to be a winner, the colors are so outstanding. Agree about the perch which also hides the tale. I wonder if the image could take a portrait crop, maybe from the middle of the bird up.

Like the pose and prey. Good sharpness. Perch is large, but at least it's clean. Did you set the perch up or is it totally natural? If it's a setup, I'd definitely go for a slightly smaller perch. I'd consider toning down the bright spot just above the perch on the right side of the frame.

Perch was natural. Many times you arrange the perch, if there is option to keep it.
Thank you all for your feed back, kind compliments and likes.

Satish.

Hi Satish, what a great angled pose showing off his neat meal. Striking colours on this little fellow, and he pops against the smooth BG. I prefer your OP with regards to the comp. In your repost, there is evidence of cloning below the perch.

Thank you very much Stuart Sir, for your feed back.
