    Welcome to BPN rakesh. good to see you here as well.
    nice way to start with. bear with my suggestions rakesh but as we are all learning here are few suggestions that this people out here would sure recommend..

    1. a beautiful image and i wish the image would need a bit of CW rotation on compo
    2. title on the top is distracting.

    rest i like the wide composition and i am really loving all the wide views with habitat shots instead a bird profile image.

    terrific shot u have got here

    While the birds are a little small, their colors really pop and as such offer a wonderful complement to the green landscape. Agreed with Mital about titel. that kind of really ruins it for me. :(

    Lovely colours. Agree that the title is redundant. Also a tighter crop might be in order to do more justice to the birds. A great image to introduce yourself with!

    Welcome to BPN Rakesh sir...good to see you here... This is a refreshing change from the extreme close-ups that we usually see here... Nice to see a different perspective sometimes... Looking forward to your collection...

    Agree on the title being a little distracting... Mital bhai why CW rotation??? Looks fine as is IMO...

    -Cheers,
    Rohan

    Lovely first post. I enjoy very much the composition here and the inclusion of the environment. I would not crop off anything except remove the title. This image doesn't appear to need any rotation. The BG green is lovely against the darker birds, and the colors compliment each other well. If I had one wish, it would only be that the top bird were facing a bit more toward the camera. Big congratulations on having this picture published on a magazine cover.

    Rakesh, welcome to BPN. I live in the US but follow wildlife photography from India closely. Big fan of yours. I am happy to see some of India's best wildlife photographers here.

    So many things to like in this shot. Liked the close-to-rule-of-thirds placement of the birds here. Colors and contrast very nice. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

    Lovely photograph. I really like the inclusion of habitat. The birds are very sharp considering it looks like a bit of a windy location. I can understand the suggestion of a slight c/w rotation as the main stem seems to be leaning a tad in wind. I wonder if stopping the main stem just before it leaves the frame would be any improvement. Looking forward to seeing more. Dave

    Great image--love the habitat and the composition. The title at the top is my only distraction.
