Excellent Satish. Exposure spot on. wuld have liked bit of greenery in the background but no big deal.
Nice positioning too.

Lovely pose and pleasant background. Exposure etc. excellent. I like the image as it is but could also envisage a slightly looser crop.

Thank you all for the feed back. I appreciate it.
Jonathan, Thank you so much for the comments. I will take care of crop.
John, Thank you so much. It is quite common bird here, though difficult to capture. I will have a image with greenery in the BG.
