Hi Satish,

Thank you for sharing this one. I really like Indian Paradise Flycatcher (Specially Male). I will try to photograph this bird during my next visit to india.

Thanks
Krishna

Happy New Year to you as well Satish!
Good solid image of this beautiful flycatcher. Well exposed and sharp.
I would blend the outline of the vertical white OOG branch below the bird.
the raised crest with the hint of iridescense is very nice,
Gail

Satish, a great image of a bird I am not familiar with, thanks for sharing. Happy new year

Same to you, Satish. Good image to end with.

Happy New Year Satish !

Nice one Satish, well processed. You may consider patching and blending the background a little bit, the bird and perch looks great.
Did you manage to sort out a new computer and screen??

Happy New Year to you, Satish. Beautiful looking flycatcher under warm light. Excellent detail and love the iridescent green raised crest.
