A lovely looking bird and difficult to present with such a long tail. It's a real pity about that branch directly behind the head maybe it could be successfully cloned out.

Hi Satish, these paradise flycatchers have lovely long tails, so not easy to comp, but you have done well with your vertical - may be a little more space below. Good pose and HA captured, and I like the lighter BG. Pity about the intersecting with the crest. Could you have not moved more to your left, where it seems you may have achieved clearance.

it's a great looking bird and I love the long tail. wish the head wasn't blocked and the IQ is not great, maybe a big crop?

Very cool bird, Satish.
I agree with the others critiques but it is very nice to see a bird like this.
TFS.

Striking bird, well captured, Satish.
