Uggh trigger finger; forgot the attachment and details.

Manual exposure.
I wish for a teeny tiny bit more head turn. The other image in which I got the head turn I wanted was too dark because the flash didn't fire.
Now that I see it posted, I wish I had burned the perch bit to reduce the flashed look.

Beautiful composition, Sidharth. Nice colors and bg. For me the HA works fine.

beautiful bird and capture siddharth.. loved the sharpness as well. may be a bit of room on top and bottom would add more breathing as feel too tight vertically .. or you can make vert compo as well from this ....

Beautiful capture,

I like the composition and the ha is fine for me on my screen it looks like the wings are sharper than the head ... but this could be just my bad 8 inch screen I am looking at it.

Congrats.!!
