Hi Sanjeev, very natural looking shot I like the colours and the plumage detail is excellent. The background twigs are sufficiently OOF not to be bothersome to my eye.

Hi Sanjeev, I like the framing, the SS is a wee bit high so ISO400 could have been better. Overall I just fine the colour a bit 'dirty' as this is a vibrant, yet colourful bird with some lovely pure colours. Certainly if you have time I would quickly revisit the colours and even drop a bit of the Contrast, as it has some lovely potential IMHO.

I think the colours could be a bit more "vivid", and the two tallest branches do catch my eye, but I love the perch, BG (apart from those two branches), and well balanced composition.
