Hi Sanjeev,
I am very fond of these colorful birds and like the pose and clean background.
Somehow, the composition with the branch position seems a bit strange to me. And maybe you should crop the image a little and remove some space to the right and below the bird.

IQ on the BE is excellent. Great eye level view.
The image seems a bit "cool" to me and I would warm image up slightly.
Perch is simple and on a nice diagonal.
You have lots of options re: crop here. You could even go vertical here if this is not already a big crop,

Beautiful bird, nicely shown. I also agree the composition/crop appears off. I would try a 4x5 vertical with the bird a little larger in the frame and slightly off center to the right if the IQ will stand up. Thank you for sharing.

Great bird and BG. Plain perch, but that is what they choose at times. I agree with experimenting with the comp, it's a bit centred as is.
