    A good sample of having 800 ISO by mistake i kept high ISO in my starting phase of bird photography.

    I like the eye contact, sharpness, soft light and BG. The color temperature seems a bit high and I wish the piece of bark wouldn't cover the tip of the tail.

    Mital,

    Ditto what Axel said about the bark. Warm creamy earth tones in BG and cool greens of the subject compliment each other nicely to my eye.

    Mital,
    Nice image. I like the eye contact and the background. I agree with Axel regarding the bark. That may appear minor but definitely improves the image.

    Cheers,

    Nice colors and eye contact. The bird looks like it may have spotted his next meal.

    Well exposed colours on the BE, sharp, and love the pose. Pity about the bark, as it does draw the eye, but the killer BG makes up for it.
