Nicely done Satish. Subject nice and sharp, good pose and you handled the apparently harsh light quite well

BG is super!

Harsh light handled nicely. Sharp, good bg and Ha. Having the perch coming out of the lower right corner is not ideal IMO and the tail is a little close to the edge of the frame. If you have some wiggle room, you could move the whole branch and bird up and maybe solve both of these issues.

Hi Satish, love the angled pose, and you have brought out the finer plumage detail so well - tack sharp too. You managed great DOF throughout the image, and I like your two tone BG. Congrats, I like this lots.

Hi Satish,
very nice pose and BG .

Nice pose and lovely BG! Excellent detail and I like the diagonal of the perch. A bit too much negative space on top for me given position of the bird in the frame.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice pose and background Satish.

Lovely shot, Satish! Love that pose, perch and dual color BG! TFS

Thank you for the feed back and comments. I do have room below the tail. If I take the bird/perch above the corner, the composition looks squarish and space on the top and bottom of bird is equal, which I wanted to avoid.
