Stunning bird, with nice look back and clean BG. Agree with Arash reg framing but a super shot!

[Paul Burdett]

Lovely colours and sharp as a tack! The BG contrasts well with the bird. What lens?

I too agree with having the subject lower in the frame, and I would try to remove the whitish area below the bill. I love the muted light, colours, perch.

Terrific color palette and good light. Position in the frame noted above.

[John Mack]

That bill is huge. Great background and a nice perch.

Lots to like here, Debapratim, not to mention a great-looking bird. The colours on it are great (without knowing what they look like in real life). Great contrasting colour background, nice perch and good pose from the bird. Composition works for me but I could also see some off the bottom working too and maybe a little more on the right.
