Colours are fantastic, timing is great with wing position and the red berry in mouth
a dash of flash shows can it be toned a shade down by luminosity adjustment
I like the overall image a lot
Agree with comments above,nice one.
Beautiful work Binu, technically superb. You probably know my personal preference is for some background variability but I understand that is not always possible and not to everyone's taste. Well done. Ian.
Great looking pose and I like the berry in the beak. The techs look good and the feather detail is all there. A nice smooth BG sets this off well. Good job
A cadillac of an image. Just gorgeous all around...light quality, image quality, pose, perch,...it's all here. I really enjoy seeing images of a Western Bluebirds, as it seems I see far fewer of them versus the Eastern Bluebirds...
I agree with Ian
Alittle something in the back would be nice . Pleasing image whatever.

Hi Binu, I really like this angled perching pose, especially with the swept back wing position. Good eye contact, and I just love the pastel blues these guys have. Killer BG, and the berry in the beak puts this up a few notches. Did I mention, great choice of perch for your setup.
Killer good IQ. Great pose, perch, processing. Not much to improve here, perhpas a tad more room bottom (and right to retain ratio) to avoid the bottom leaf clipping the edge. I'm really liking the quality of your images Binu, great work.
Very lovely Binu :S3:
This is a beautiful image. Love the berry in the mouth and the wings up position.
I wish the berries at the bottom were not cut off. If you have a bit more room down below I would use it.

A winner on all counts. Wing position, berry in mouth, techs, colors. Nicely done.
Very nice image, as the pose is great and the berry in the beak add to it.
Excellent catch! Gorgeous pose and look!
What would you think about increasing the contrast a little (a Curve worked very well) and moving the temperature a little cooler? There appears to be some yellow cast.
Spectacular moment captured. Beautiful pose with berry in the beak,nice perch, BG and composition.

Satish.
Captured in the right moment. Wonderful wing pose. I like the berry in the bird's bill a lot.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks Diane! I'll play with curve and reduce the color cast using the Hue/Saturation adjustment.
