I like the light, unusual perch, sharpness and eye contact. The right foot looks a bit messy. :) I wish the BG above the beak were more like the rest. Could you have moved a bit to your left?

A gorgeous shot Kiran! What I love about this shot is the vibrance and contrast of the colours due to the beautiful light you were working with. Of course HT, perch and detail are excellent. I absolutely don't mind the lighter circle in the BG. Congrats!

Amazingly sharp brother, and just love the colours. Good pose and HA, and what a killer BG. Hope you got a shot of him taking off ?????;)

Stunner of a subject with excellent exposure and shrpness.
I'd agree with Axel....the only nit I have is the light colored BG behind the head.

You have succeeded in bringing out all the brilliant colours this bird is possessed with, Kiran. I might crop out the bottom 1/2" or so, and maybe add a little to the top to balance out the image a little more. Just a suggestion.
