    Sweet shot, with beautiful colors, nice BG and a great prey.

    Another great shot following on from the previous lizard one. Being picky, a less lumpy, more interesting perch would improve the shot. Is the perch supplied or natural?

    How cool! Excellent prey item. Good profile pose, and great colours. So-so perch, and I am not in love with the upper left corner, but overall the image works very well!

    Beautiful bird, nicely shown. Vivid colors, as Dan wrote " cool prey item". I might try opening the shadows a bit, without trying and looking at the image hard to tell if it would improve the image. Thank you for sharing, Sanjeev.

    Looks good to me Sanjeev, I don't mind the imperfections, it looks like nature is to me. you could lift the darker area around the primaries a teeny weeny bit and just a little more DOF wouldn't go amiss but I like it as it is.
