Congrats on the big milestone, Satish and thanks for your contributions.
Beautiful light, great BG and excellent details. A beautiful bird to celebrate your milestone with.
Looking forward to the next 6K

congrats Satish, great accomplishment. I like the sweet light that has brought out the warm tones and the BG. The perch is a bit large for this bird

I agree the perch is too big, but if you didn't set it up, then so be it. Then it's fine.
Congratulations on the big 6k! Well done.

Love the bird's colours and the detail. Almost a perfect HA too. Nicely done mate. Let's see another 6k posts!

Thanks for sharing Satish!

Congrats, Satish, I always enjoy your fine work and this is no exception.
Nice details and warm BG....

[David Salem]

Congrats Satish!! We both started BPN close to the same time and it's been great watching your skills develop into the solid bird photographer that we see today. I agree about the perch but I know you don't do setups so that's what nature hands you and you made the most out of it.
Well done and looking forward to many more!!

Congrats Satish!
Lovely image.
Great bird and BG. Perch is a bit big for the bird but I am OK with that as it is "au naturel". I would clone out the little bit of bird poo at the bottom of the perch.
Good IQ. Perfect pose with the body being paralell to the sensor and slight head turn.
Thanks for your active participation over the years and I look forward to your 10,000th post!

Hi Satish, congrats on your 6000th milestone, and I really like the colours on this species. The sharpness and detail are spot on, and pretty much captured a good pose too. Killer BG.

Awesome image indeed!!! Yes the perch scale is a tad off, however unless it's a setup.. the overall IQ and soft Light Wins for me!!!
