Your comments will be appreciated...

I like the pose, eye contact and exposure control. I would put the bird a bit further to the right in the frame and run NR on the BG.

Very lovely image with good pose and eye contact as well as good detail. I agree with Axel about the cropping and NR. Many thanks for sharing Indranil .

Beautiful bird here with an interesting perch and BG. BG noise is OK on my monitor. I agree with Axel on repositioning the bird. You have a good head angle and eye contact. I would suggest that you sharpen the eye a little.

Axel, Judy, Joel, thanks for the feedback. Here is the updated post... repositioned the bird, NR on BG and sharpened the eye.

Your repost works so much better Indranil. Well done.
