Beautiful birds Mital.
Love the green BG and the interaction between them, the light also deserves to be mentioned, lovely image.
I gave it a try in PS, hope you don't mind.

Agree with removing the grass. Great repost. Fantastic light and sharpness. Love the spread and the interaction.

Great job of grass removal by Juan. While at it I would also remove the brighter vertical one, and the darker horizontal one touching it. I like the new crop too, but would also crop a bit at left. Super interaction...I like how the bird on our right seems to be leaning out of the way! Great colours and BG...oh, and great timing on your part Mital.

Mital, I like the light and colours, and well timed to capture the wingspread.I prefer this to your previous one. Juan's repost works well.

Gorgeous color tones. I like the birds open wings and the other ones pose seems to compliment it nicely. Juan's repost looks great. Nice series Mital!
