beauty one Harshad, Loved the details and catchlight add a well to the frame.
I would prefer a more room on the right of the frame and on top to balance it.
Wonderfull species to me. I like the detail and sharpness, maybe brightening the dark greens in the BG could help, IMO the OOF log is a tad distracting. Congratulations!
Wow! Very striking portrait! Love the color and detail. I also like how the light green of the BG echoes the shape of the bird's head. I like the crop as presented, because I suspect that adding frame to the right would show a lot of OOF tree. You might be able to bring out a little more detail in some of the blacks. Nice job!
Upcoming Workshops: Bosque del Apache 2019, Ecuador 2020 (details coming soon)

Tough one to crop, I agree. Love the feather detail and great head angle too. Congrats Harshad.
I love the bird but I find the background's mix of light and dark tones to be quite distracting.
Good sharpness and eye contact. I don't find the BG distracting, the OOF branch in the lower right is not ideal.
Harshad, You did well with a tough light angle.... Pretty bird. I am 50-50 on the BKGR and I do not like to see clipped toes.

Super close up, with pin sharp detail and colours. I dont mind the BG, but agree with Artie on clipping the claws.
