Great details, head angle, light and BG. I would give it more room and remove the white spots on the lower branch.

Kiran I love this one. The pose of the bird, eye contact and head turn are perfect. Very good DOF control and the BG compliments very well the bird colors. Good job

Well done, Kiran. This looks very similar to the African Liliac-breasted Roller - do you know it's scientific name? Pose, BG lovely. Plumage looks a little oversharpened on my monitor but a very nice image.

Thanks Harshad. The Lilac-breasted is C.caudatus and has very similar colouring but longer outer tail feathers.
