Lovely detail from bill to tail tip. I would like to see more space around the bird as it looks (to my taste) confined by the size of its box.

I agree that it is a bit tight. This is emphasized by the backward pose. You got a great HA and super detail in the eye. Do I see some cloning marks just to the right of the beak extending up? They probably won't show in a print.

Beautiful detail and pose, Ramesh. Not sure about the vertical branch, but overall very pleasing.

Nice and sharp with a nice head turn. Photo seems a bit dark on my monitor. Good one. Dave

Lovely pose and detail. Hope you don't mind this repost - converting to sRGB and some boosting in levels, colour saturation and contrast. Cloned the branch too.

Ramesh, thats a nice image and the PP by Offer improves the image manifold. Great detail in the feathers. Good choice of smaller aperture for top to tail sharpness.
