    Nice portrait, Satish. All looks good to me, nothing I would change of wish different. The bird looks very much like our Green Heron here. Thank you for sharing.

    Great portrait, Satish. Alert pose, and tons of good detail. That background color is the perfect compliment to the bird.

    Excellent image Satish! I like the details, complimentary BG, sharpness and composition. I would consider cloning out three little white spots. One is at the back of the head in the BG, another above the beak and the last one just below the breast.

    Agree with all the comments, for me it's a stunning portrait.
    Love the feather detail and piercing stare.
