Good exposure and detail, excellent eye detail too, the pose is perhaps not ideal and the perch is not aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps if the tail was visible it would be a little more appealing.

Thank you Jonathan for the feed back. This bird has peculiarity, the moment you approach the it's flush point (about 10-15 meters), it sits like this. Other wise there is no problem to gets image with tail.
Distance of bird in this image is 12.6 meters.

Regards,
Satish.

I like the overall look to the image, I just wish the head was looking down rather than up. Some NR to the background would be good too.

Satish, First, a question: was flash used?

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you for the feed back.
Daniel Sir, Noise noted.
Arthur Sir, No flash was used.Photographed in late morning light. Is there any thing wrong with lights/processing ?

Satish.
