    Nice low angle, well exposed, and good details. Good composition and the subject is nicely separated form the background due to that low angle. The head angle is not bad per say, but would have been killer turned a wee bit more towards us. Two bright spots in particular could be removed for a cleaner BG: the one above the head and the one in front of the chest.

    Satish;

    Good comments from the guys. The similarity of the yellow/greens in the background, to the birds colors helps pull the image together for me.

    Cheers

    One of my favourite birds. Spenta lot of time with these and the females are underated. Most guys go for the males !!
    Nice work. Agree about the spots but a minor nit.

    I agree with the above comments, a slight sharpening of the head and a touch of background cleanup would add some improvement. That said, it's quite an enjoyable image of a nice species.

    Hi Satish, excellent low angle, and well placed in the frame. I like the feather detail on the wing.

    I like the low angle, setting and composition. Sharpness in the repost looks good.
