    Wonderful shot - great dof through the bird, detail in the blacks and a typical drongo perch and situation.

    cheers

    This is very nice Mital! I would only lighten the iris a tiny bit more, and smooth out the OOF vegetation at bottom as it distracts rather than adds to the image. The head is acceptably parallel to the sensor, but it would have been even better with a slight turn towards you...still a very appealing image :-)

    Excellent exposure on the darker plumage, and showing good detail too. That one thorn looks pretty close to doing some damage. Overall sharp, and I would maybe add a little to the right, and take a bit off the bottom.
