    Thanks for your comments.Bird was at the distance of 6 m. Today he allowed me to come closer and gave me enough time to take many full frames,I will post them shortly.
    In this frame I captured only half the bird.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Lovely portrait Satish, nice warm colors and sharp, did you lighten it a bit with shadows/highlights tool?

    A nice strong portrait composition with lots of detail showing. I rather like the slightly elevated angle of the shot, great looking species Satish

    Satish:

    Very colorful fellow, even the inside of his mouth is colorful!

    Nice sense of texture and detail. Good eye, open bill.

    Comp works as posted, could also see a version with a sliver off the top, and a sliver more on left of frame.

    Cheers

    Very "in your face" and well done. Beautiful color and detail. Angle of view seems a bit steep.

    Beautiful bird with great colours, nice sharpeness. I could see a touch more contrast for the plumage but looks good as is.

    Hi Satish, you have exposed the perfectly, good all round detail, and the open beaks adds. I would take a bit off the top. Well captured.

    Absolutely super Satish, my first reaction was wow such detail, as I looked at it I wondered if a little more contrast would help give a little pop.

    Beautiful image of a beautiful bird, Satish. I would also vote for a slight crop off the top and a touch of additional contrast. Looking forward to the others in the series.

    Excellent job Satish. Add my congrats to all those above.
    I agree with Randy's comp suggestion and that a bit of contrast will help.
    Looking forward to more of this handsome bird.
