Excellent sharpness, color, pose and eye contact. The background and perch are also very good. If it were mine, I might add just a little more space on the right, but this is fine, Satish.

Delightful picture Satish. Just with a nice gentle hint of something in the background. Well done

Fine close up, the background and the delicate leaves makes for an overall well balanced image, maybe a little more space to right (as said) but that's me being picky.

A really pleasing image lovely pose and detail. The head angle isn't ideal but the eye is very clear, the perch and background are perfect.

I love the rich colors in this image, with the green leaves of the perch making a nice compliment. Those small leaves really add a lot to the scale. Crop seems fine to me and the IQ is very nice. If I were to do anything, I'd clone out the leaves along the left edge and as others said add a bit of canvas on the right. Really nice shot.

Fine image of a lovely looking bird. Good feather detail and a nice background helping the bird to stand out. The only thing I might do is clone out the OOF leaves on the left. Thanks for showing us this bird.

The BG is beautiful.
I wish the HA was a bit more towards us. If the HA had been a bit better the comp would have been perfect as is.
I would also clone out the OOF leaves on LHS,

Satish:

Well done shot, with good input from folks already. HA and subtle cropping changes top the list, but very pleasing as is.

Cheers

A sweet bird and shot but the head would be better turned your way a bit more.
