    Hi Sanjeev,
    Nice to see you posting again!
    Great looking frame with lots of good details and iridescence in the wings.
    Good BG and perch. Nice look at the feet.
    I just wish the OOF branch was not there. It would be a bit of work to clone it out but I would still do it!
    Comp is good but I could see a version with a bit off the top and bottom,
    Gail

    Hi Sanjeev, well looks like things have certainly moved in the right direction with those changes to kit, this is excellent.
    Killer backdrop and detail, just watch the Contrast/Shadows. Personally I might just take a sliver off the top, but this is really nice.

    I love it Sanjeev - what a handsome bird you have here! If it were my image I might consider selectively raising the shadows in LR Tone Curve, but just a touch.

    Pretty bird and details look very nice. Set off really well against that background. I would try and get rid of that out of focus brown clump of sticks under the bird. Think it would be much cleaner without that. Agree that I would lift the shadows or lift the curves on the bird.
