Very nice pose as it is looking back! I love the feather patterns. Great BG too and all sharp. well done! :)

Nice bird. I had photographed this species in Malaysia. There are lot of details in your image. Depth of field is good. The eye contact is good. There are a few dust spots at the bottom of the frame. You did well in terms of sharpness at 1/20th sec shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Good looking bird and clean bg !! Would increase contrast a bit more, can tweak with selective color adding black to the neutral/black !!!

Would also work on the perch, the light tones on top sort of grab my attention, easy fix selecting and multiplying the layer !!!

Great to see this bird Loong-Tat. I like the look-back and the BG is very complementary to the bird.

There is a softness in the bird which I think is due to camera shake. You could have bumped the ISO to 800, opened the lens up and been able to use a much faster shutter speed.

I like the over the shoulder pose and eye contact.
