    This image was created in the last the week. Two flakes of bark at the tip of perch on the right side removed. Cropped for composition and sharpened.NR applied to BG.

    Canon: 550D, 400mm.ISO: 1600, 1/3200, F: 5.6.Evaluating metering. Manual mode.

    Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards.

    Satish, this is one of my most favourite birds. You have captured nice natural colors and perch. Timing was alo very good.
    Overall, liked the pic very much since nothing seems to have been overdone.
    However, to make it stronger, I would have cropped out part of the bottom and would have left a bit more space at the top. But that's only an alternative way of presentation.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Satish, beautiful bird, nice perch and lovely wing spread! Open beak also adds to the goodness of the image. Maybe a lower ISO could have helped the IQ of the image. Overall very well done.
    TFS.

    What a beautiful bird and a great pose showing off the bright wing colors. I agree there seems to be a bit of noise, especially around the purple in the primaries. Maybe a light pass with denoise to clean it up a touch.

    Hi Satish,
    I think this is stunning.
    I love the wing stretch and the open beak.
    I don't really see any noise problems but it may be because it is 70am and I don't have my glasses on!
    I am ok with the composition as well.Lovely BG and a pretty nice perch as well.
    Really nice,
    Gail

    Lovely shot, Satish. Good timing to catch the wing stretch showing his beautiful colors. Nice HA, lovely BG. I could imagine a little off the bottom, but fine just as posted.

    Hi Satish, lovely comp with the roller placed high in the frame, and with the wing stretched down into the frame. I like the light and detail, and the colors look spot on. Killer BG.

    I too, dont see much noise for that high ISO.

    I feel this is one of your best images posted. Congrats.

    Wow, fantastic image! Great pose and colors, a pleasure to look at. Agree with other comments on perhaps taking a bit off the bottom, but otherwise I find the composition compelling as well.

    Satish, lovely image of a beautiful bird. Love the colors and BG. If you have more canvas at the top, I'd like to see more space at the top and a little bit less at the bottom where the perch was lighter and thus more dominant. Well done!

    I love the image too. Love the open beak, the wings, and the perch. While the high ISO didn't impact the image much, it could have shot at a lower ISO at a lower shutterspeed. I presume you set up that fast for a flight take off? I would prefer to have a bit more room at the top and the right.

    Love the stretched out wing. Showing off it's beautiful colors.
    Great perch, nice details, and great background.
    Very well done.
