Hi Murali - This is quite the "abstract" image you have here. I had to look at it for a moment to get my bearings. I've never seen this behavior so its pretty interesting to see here. Looks like you were dealing with some harsh light and accommodated well. Blue background is rich! I wonder what it would look like if you took a little more off on the left side?

Very unique pose, I like the composition which gave me the flower look alike feeling. Good job with the harsh light, love the sharpness and the detail around the neck.
