Ram:

Nice natural 'spotlight' effect here. Helps the bird and part of the nest to separate from the background. Shows where the 'weaver' name came from.
I might be tempted to tone down the brightness of the small twig just in front of the bird, and perhaps the brighter leaf in the left upper corner.
Would prefer the bird to be angled more our way.

Ram, You did a great job showing the wonderfully constructed nest with the bird on top. I agree w/ Randy regarding the bird turned towards us but it is a nicely captured image.

Hi Ram,

Nice natural history situational shot. I agree with the other two that a turn towards us would have been nice. I wonder if you could slightly tone down some of the yellow on top of the head, some parts seem a little saturated to me. A very nice subject you have there!

It's a wonderful natural history image Ram. I like it lots and some good suggestions have already been made. I don't think I could add to it. Well done! :)
