Killer shot Sanjeev, although I'm not sure how I feel about the strong horizontal branch. It seems to cut the image in two. Let's see what others say. Bird is beautiful though!
Stunning bird and BKGR. Super sharp. The perch is simply too large for the bird. Head angle is good but 1 1/2 degrees more toward us would have been perfect. Love the soft light and the wonderful eye and tail.

I too was thinking the HA would have been better a tad more towards us. I also think flipping the camera to a vertical would have been excellent here, but I realize we do not always have the time to do so. Awesome subject, details, BG.
Thanks everyone, appreciate your comments. Dan, Artie, I have just posted a vertical orientation image of this beautiful bird & the pose and HA he gave me were really nice. Do check it out and let me know what you think. its a new post as the pose was different.
