Great detail and exposure here. Love the eye contact. I'm guessing others will say the image is too tight on the sides, but looks fine for this pose to me.

Tanks for commenting Dave. This bird came so close that I had very less opportunity for composing this image in horizontal way :-)

[arash_hazeghi]

nice colors, detail, EXP and BG. perch is not that attractive and HA could be better. you can also clean up the dust spot and the strands (spider web?)

[David Fletcher]

Lovely shot Subramanya. Like the IQ and the way the head is tilted although could be a tad more. Quite like the cobweb strands as adding interest.

Nice clarity, color, and BG in this image. I like the web strand but would remove the one that seems to be floating without attachments. Also would give it a slight CCW turn.
