Excellent lighting, pose and habitat. Perhaps more detail can be rendered on the bird's head but presently within acceptable limits. Nice work Satish.

Nice perch, background and pose in excellent light, Satish.

Very nice perch with appealing leaves. Good background. The mottled light is a bit unfortunate, but not too strong so it is still OK. I would have preferred a bit more head turn our way.

Satish:

Good comments from the gang. I noticed that mottled light, but felt that the head, breast was strong enough to keep our interest there.

Cheers

I like the interesting perch, sharpness, BG and composition. A little more of a head turn would have made the image stronger but its still a beauty Satish!

Good capture, Satish. I kind of like the mottled light adding some interest and character to the image. Very nice leafy perch with excellent BG.
