    Wonderful image Harshad with a superb low angle, interesting perch and excellent detail. Well composed and good DOF. I slight head turn would be nice but love this as presented. Fine work and thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful bird, and neat rocky surroundings. I would just crop a bit from below to hide the long thin tan rock that is currently creeping in, and you may want to lighten the iris a tad...not too much though as it can easily look overdone. A better HA would have been great.

    I love the rocks here.
    I like the light, BG, Comp and the surroundings.
    Wish for a better HA

    HA mentioned, but pin sharp shot on a neat perch in soft light Harshad! like it...I would crop some more off the bottom to get rid of the distracting brown edge of the rock.

    I like everything about this image but for the HA (kudos to those above) and the dirty, dirty face of the bird... I sometimes refuse to press the shutter button when I have the perfect image of an ugly bird lined up....

    Harshad, Beautiful details and lovely colors. Exposure looks very nice also. Agree w/ HA. I have never seen this bird before so I'm happy to get an up-close look at it. TFS. I agree regarding a slight crop off the bottom.

    Harshad, this is sharp, and I like the simple pose, and HA coverd. I would maybe boost the saturation a tad, and agree to take a bit off the bottom.
