Beautiful one mital Bhai, loved the light, the singing pose adds well, nice BG amd lovely details too, I would only suggest you tone down the perch a bit and a very personal suggestion would be clone out the oof greens.. still it works very well bhai, congrats..

Superb singing pose and comp Mital. Beautiful light and feather details. shooting from a lower viewpoint may have helped the oof greens but not sure if that was possible. Nicely done.

[Vivek Khanzode]

Good one Mital. Exposure and details are great. I think the only change I would make is to take some space off the top and a tad from the left.

You could also apply some selective blur to the dark green leaves which are somewhat distracting.

It doesn't get much better than this. Just outstanding.

I like the light, pose, sharpness and actually like the BG including the vegetation. I might lighten the iris a bit more.

[Simon Bennett]

Excellent calling pose, sharp and well exposed.
