Oh wow -- look at the feather detail -- background is super
Welcome to BPN, Ramesh! Very nice first post. I like the head angle, soft light and BG. I would run NR on the BG and give it a bit more room at the right. The perch is not ideal, I would use one that does not look cut. Keep them coming!
Very nice feather detail and agree with Axel on the perch. Wondering if you sharpen the whole image are just the bird there really should not be any noise at ISO 200.

Welcome to BPN!
I agree with Axel here, a nicer perch would really help this image. You might try a round of noise reduction on the BG.
I like the pose, plumage detail and background colours.
