    I love these birds! I don't really mind the branches of the bottom, I like the light, BG, pose, detail, colors, exposure and comp, only suggestion from me would be another round of NR.
    Congratulations!

    Harshad, I like the exposure and "environmental" aspects of this photo. A subject with everything clear does not always work for me and this one is good. Very sharp. Good one.

    I don't think I have seen this species before. Thanks for sharing. I like the soft light, eye contact and perch. The BG is quite noisy for ISO 200, I assume you sharpened the entire image. Only sharpening the subject would help with that, how did you sharpen? Keep them coming!

    Harshad I like the environmental quality of the image and the soft and nice light. The pose of the bird, head turn and eye contact looks very nice. Noise reduction should be applied only to the BG to avoid the loss of details in the bird (I think that is the reason why the bird doesn´t look tack sharp in this file). from a composition point of view I like it instead of the fact that the bird is a bit centered on the image but it would be better if the bird were placed more towards the upper left corner (in my opinion). In the repost I added a selective round of noise reduction to the BG only and a touch of gaussian blur. I made some selective adjustments on th elevels u¡in several dark areas, added a touch of saturation and a round of sharpenning to the cuckoo only. Of course the result would be much better working with the original file. Keep them coming
