Excellent looking slightly wet bird against background to die for, Satish.

Very nice pose & BG. I also like the composition.

Hi Satish, great look back pose, and I like the 'small' perch protruding into the frame. Love the smooth BG, and if anything, I would add a touch of contrast and maybe tone down the overall image. Here is my version with a bit off the LHS and top too.

[Richard Unsworth]

Very nice indeed Satish, Stuart repost is too but both are fine.
These are not easy even though common -well here anyways

[keith mitchell]

Satish two very good versions of this bird I think I just prefer the darker one, I do really like the way the perch comes into the frame and the pose of the bird and the bg is great.

Satish
I still reckon a little more "punch" is needed.
Looks a little flaton my gear.
Nice birds.

Satish.

Satish, Some nice tweaks made this fine image sing. This is beautiful. I love the colors, the perch and the droplet, in addition to the finely posed bird.

Beautiful little bird Satish, and teed up very nicely on that quality perch. I like the space better in the original image, but I do see that adding more punch with contrast like Stuart did helps the image along nicely. I think I'd prefer an in between version best, though isn't that what someone typically says when two versions of tone are offered? Another suggestion would be to clone out that little blip of vegetation or whatever in the lower right hand side of the frame, just barely visible...
