    This is really nice Sanjeev.
    I like how the diagonal branch ends and suspends the bird in the middle of the frame. I wish it wasn't quite so large but not a deal breaker.
    Exposure is spot on.
    I would tone down the bright circular area to the left and below bird. Otherwise a very nice BG.
    The birds position is good and shows off the forked tail very well,

    I like this!
    The perch is pretty abrupt, but it looks like the bird is surveying his surroundings.
    The leaves above make the image work well, glad you left them in.

    A thinner perch and a better head angle would have made this even better, but I love the comp, BG, leaves at top. I also like the angles created by the bird and perch angles...

    Hi Sanjeev, love the exposure on the Drongo, and a nice angled pose. Normally, I would find the upper leaves distracting, but in this, they seem to frame the bird nicely. I agree to tone down the lighter area below the tip of the perch.

    This caught my eye as I was scrolling down the page, Sanjeeve. Love it. Very unusual perch. Excelent details on the bird, nice soft bg with the leaves to frame it . Sweet!
