Like the alert pose with raised crest feathers. I might tone down the brightness on the right side of the perch.

[David Salem]

Perfect HA and crest in alert position is nice. Sharp and well exposed. Looks like the sun was a bit high. Good job.

[Karl Egressy]

I like the pose with the raised crest and the nice background, Satish.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice pose offered by this handsome bird! Nice BG and light.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Satish, excellent exposure, good angled pose, sharp, and yes, the raised crest adds interest. The light has brought out the iridescence nicely.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Lovely detail, sharpness and I also like the crest alert, nice work Satish.

[Lorant Voros]

Very nice alert pose.Only thing I can see is working on the perch's highlights. Nice work.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, raised crest, exposure and clean BG. Well done Satish.

[dankearl]

Very nicely exposed, the bird looks great, and a nice sloping perch.

[John Cooper]

Splendid portrait Satish, great pose and well separated from the BG. The raised crest was a bonus!

[Jonathan Ashton]

Lovely pose and I think the exposure was good. The perch as might be expected is a little too bright but easily fixed.

Nicely done. Good depth of field, well exposed (though I agree w/ others about a minor touch up on the branch), well-framed, and great bg. A keeper!
