    There's a lot to like here Sanjeev! Absolutely gorgeous background. The perch is a little different but not in a bad way and I like the placement of the bird in the frame. Exposure looks good even with the challenge of shooting black birds in direct sun. I might clone out the wispy white thing coming off the tip of the rightmost tail feather. Really interesting bird that I haven't seen before. Well done!

    Very pretty bird and exposure looks good. I hope BPN will implement the larger file size soon, as this just begs to be seen on a larger scale. Nicely done!

    Wow a Drongo! The name is great and the bird is too. A slight head turn towards you might be nice. Agree with Kerry, birds like this show much better in less harsh light. Funnily enough it's the same with my black motorcycle! She looks so much better in the early morning or evening!

    Sanjeev, try flipping the image left to right, seems to sit better IMHO.

    Nice exposure on the blacks Sanjeev and works nicely against the subtle backdrop, I think it sits in the frame very nicely as well and you have captured that distinctive tail perfectly
