    Hi Ritesh. On opening this my immediate thought was 'over saturated', but after looking closer the oranges don't seem too over done. Would like to see a version with them tamed just a bit to compare though... The diagonal line behind the birds back looks a bit out of place/suspect. Not sure if it's natural or from cloning? It might be worth smoothing that over. Apart from that I think it's a super image of a gorgeous kingfisher with prey item, nice and sharp and nicely composed. Well done.

    Fabulous colors, and the prey adds a lot. Good pose and sharpness. I might give it just a little more room, especially at the bottom.

    Ritesh your kingfisher looks excellent beautiful colours and sharpness being mega picky but agree maybe a little more at the bottom if you have it.

    What an amazing prey item!! Neat colours and good perch, but I agree the image needs more room all around but especially at bottom. I'd also try to tame the highlights on the pupil. I do like, and looking forward to more form the series...

    Great bird with an amazing spider. Very sharp with a good head angle. Having never seen the bird, I can still say that the colors look too saturated with a yellow color cast. The RED channel in the JPEG is well clipped. Yes to more room on the bottom
