    Beautiful image of Indian roller in flight Satish, this is one of my favorite birds! Great colors, super wing position and good detail despite the high ISO! A tad NR to the BG would be good. (I use noiseware pro and it works well)

    Awesome pose, love the wing position and the great colours of this bird. Agree with noise and removing the grass near the tail.

    Excellent timing, great details, and terrific pose.
    Agree on the grass near the tail.
    Well done.

    You've timed it well to have this wing position. Sharpness and exposure is good. I would isolate the bird in a layer and look at running a light NR on the bird and a bit more on the BG in a separate layer. The colors are beautiful.

    Beautiful bird well captured in a great active pose Satish.
    Agree with Sanjeev about the noise.

    Excellent timing with the shutter button, good detail and wing position. Noise has been addressed.

    Satish,

    Really great shot, sir! I agree with the previous comments on NR and cloning the sprigs of vegetation at the tail and bill. I like the portrait crop very much, but also wonder how it would look with a landscape crop with additional canvas on the right. He has an ideal "looking ahead" angle on his head and should look good with more space ahead of him. Just a thought.

    Excellent shot, I wish these birds were in Texas!

    The face looks nice and sharp. Nice BG overall, except for that one long pale blade running behind the tail and a couple other bright ones. Good wings up position, and beautiful colours. Comp is OK, but I was wondering the same thing as Barry. In any case I'd prefer to see less of the dirt bottom (maybe crop away about 60% of that out). Agree with NR...

    Nice take off pose of a great colourful bird you have, Satish. Love the pose, a wish for a lower shooting angle if it was possible at all.

    Hi Satish, these guys have such wonderful colours, and you have managed to capture them in this very well. Well timed for the take off, good wing position, and agree with the NR. Still, well captured.

    Hi Satish,
    I agree with the comments about the NR on the BG and cloning out the grasses by the tail and bill.
    I would definitely crop from the bottom to get rid of the dirt and do a bit of NR on the bird itself,
    Gail

    Beautiful bird well captured. Nice pose and colors on this take off shot. I would remove all the dirt below and do some more NR on the GB, otherwise a killer capture.

    Thank you all for feedback and suggestions. Here is the re post as per your suggestions.
    I have increased the canvas by taking part form left and added on right side.
    Removed the grass behind the tail, and below the vent, applied the slight NR on bird and more to the background and removed the dirt.

    I am sorry, I have forgotten to clean up gaps between the feathers of the wings.
