One of the prettiest of all birds found in India is the APFC. The male is stark white with a long tail and unmistakable in its flight (yet to get a decent picture of the full grown male). This one here is a sub adult male which was trying to impress an adult female with a bee offering. One can notice the moulting feathers already cropping on the brown coat.

This is really nice Supreet.
I like the BG and the diagonal perch and the good HA.
Noise control very good for the 7D at 1600ISO.
I see a bit of a sharpening halo around the beak and the back.

Very nice perch and great BG. I would have brought down the exposure a bit as well as ISO and gone for a slightly slower SS for a static bird as IQ is suffering a bit so I am not sure if its the high ISO or PP which affected it...I thnk the image has potential and I have to agree with you on what a cool bird.
Lovely bird, image design, and BKGR. I'd crop a bit off the front if it were mine to get to ture 2X3. Though all the JPEGs look a bit funky here at 35,000 feet on the way to DFW and then Sacramento, the area below the beak here looks a mess.....
Very nice shot.
Wonderful background, great pose and perch.
Nice feather detail and great comp.
Well done.
Hi Supreet, lovely pose looking along the line of the perch, especially with the raised crest. I like the smooth BG, but agree, toning down the overall image will work.
Great looking species, I also see a halo under the bill and on the neck.
