Very nice Satish!
Good IQ and composition.
I like the head pose.
I might clean up the rock to get rid of bird droppings.

Satish,

Very nice sharp and well exposed bird. Composition perfect. I might remove the grass on the right of the bird.

Nice detail in the bird, great pose. I may take a sliver off the top.

Hi a nice looking image I find the BG a bit over powering though.

Good curious pose, details, BG. I'm OK with the grass clump at right but find it a bit bright...toning it down would render it more pleasing. Lots of space above as mentioned, if you print as a 8x10 (or similar ratio) the amount taken off up there will be perfect.

Great pose and light to bring out the blues in the birds plumage. I'm not sure if I like the grassin the bg but I feel a little more roon on that side would feel better to me, maybe not so cluttered

I like your determination to achieve the best possible shot of this bird Satish ,......but until then this is a very good portrayal. Like it a lot especially the very clear eye, nice looking bird too with lovely subtle colourings.
