    Wow! I am betting that this is not an easy bird to photograph.... Love the pose, the HA, the SH, and the EXP.

    A crop from the bottom to remove the odd bit of tree with a corresponding crop of the tree from our right would--I think--result in a more pleasing composition.

    Hi Mital,
    I like the way you captured the birds position in between the greens and blue. I promised myself to take the afternoon off from the crop tool.....so I won't get into that!....exposure and sharpness were very well done!

    I like the Pose, perch / tree and light.
    If it's possible, I would try and place him in the URC

    Very nice Mital, everything perfect but would prefer a tighter crop, too much tree IMO.
