Hi Satish, lovely angled pose, and overall, I find this sharpened perfectly. Good exposure on this dark fellow - the finer detail shows up very well. Great BG too.

Hi Satish,
Pretty little bird. Good body position and HA. Is there normally a purple hue to the feathers?
The image ( especially the BG and branch) is oversaturated for my taste. There seems to be a lot of noise in the BG at the top of the frame. Would definitely address these issues.

Great image Satish, with a terrific OOF BG and great sharpness and light. I too detect a slight magenta cast. I don't know what color the bird is, but the branch seems to have a slight cast as well. Easily fixed if so. Agree with the noise at the very top. You might consider cropping a little off the top which would help address the noise.

Real nice job on the exposure. Nice BG. Cool little bird.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great detail and an interesting perch with a nice clean bg. I too am seeing some noise in upper area of bg

[Karl Egressy]

Nice pose, great details and just the right sharpness, Satish. Love the background too.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent exposure, Satish, with rich details in the blacks. Very nice eye contact and bg. Repost addresses the issues with the OP. Very nice!

[David Salem]

Very nice job on the exposure on this one Satish. Pose and HA are very nice too. Well done

[Tim King]

I like the re-post better. I would have cleaned up the face a bit. The perch is not that attractive but the bird is sharp, perfect pose and is nicely exposed.

Beautiful portrait, great pose and colors.
