Hi Satish. Love the multi-colored background, and the nice pose. Beautiful comp. I don't know the bird, but I'm wondering if a touch more contrast, or a few points of black added to the neutrals, would give him a little more pop.

I like the perch, composition and BG. I agree with Bill that it needs a little more contrast. Nice image Satish.

Hi Satish,
The colorful BG really helps showcase this rather plain bird.
I like the repost but I would have added more contrast to the bird only and not the BG.
Nice IQ and pose and I like the diagonal line created by the perch,
Gail
