Hi Adithya

Nice capture. I think you can get more detail from the black around the throat area. I would crop the space above by about half. I find the background perfect for the bird's colors.
Thanks for sharing. :)

Beautiful bird and well-captured. I like the head angle, BG and exposure control and agree regarding a sligthly tighter crop. Keep them coming!

Agree with comments Love the bold green bg for this beauty !! Stunning !!

btw I'm normally not a fan of frames around the bird but this one looks really good !!!
