A very good image of the stonechat Prabir. The bg is great, so is sharpness. Some are going to say remove the stem right under the tail, me too. Nice perch.

Beautiful image. Great pose, bg and details.

Really nice. I like the IQ. Agree with cloning out the little branch under the tail. Are you posting at the full 1024 X 800 pixels? It would really be nice to see it bigger,

Not to be a jerk or stick-in-the-mud, but I can see the residual gunk that came from cloning away the little stump. No big deal; easy to fix! Lovely picture, by the way, of a sweet bird...

Wonderful shot!! Great pose, love the background, great perch. I really like the leaves, and excellent detail.
Well done.
