Cool bird, I think this is another new one for me. I like the eye contact and pose. I think positive EC would have helped to expose the bird better. I might clone out the leaves behind the bird's head and wish the little branch parallel to the tail were not there.

You have a lot of similar birds to us in South Africa. This flycatcher is one of them. Difficult to comp with such long tails, and this is sharp. The white OOF leaf behind the head is a bit distracting. Keep them coming Harshad.

Nice looking bird with beautiful pose.....the composition looks a bit buzy

I really like the composition. It is full, but puts the bird into his environment. I'd get rid of the bright white behind his head and lighten the head a bit. What were your settings? I see this as an image that a bit of fill flash might have livened up a bit, if it was possible.

Neat looking bird! I too like the composition. To me it adds a sense of place and scale. If your ethics allow I would suggests eliminating the light leaf behind the bird. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful FC! Love the long tail and blue eye, thanks a lot for sharing this picture. jc

Really nice capture, cropping it to a vertical presentation would work well here also.
