Welcome to BPN, Trivedi! Very nice first post. Light and sharpness look great. I wish the near wing were a bit lower and the bird would be slightly angled toward you. Keep them coming!

Welcome ,what a beautiful BIF image you have posted of a realy beautiful Bird ,agree with above comments though

Wellcome on board Vatsal. I like the action of this roller a lot with that great eye contact and showing the upperside of both wings. The warm light is top quality. I miss some additional room at the bottom and, in a perfect world, I would prefer more separation between the bird and the dark out of focus stuff at the right. The image works fine for me but the sharpness is, in my opinion, a bit intense.
One of my favorite birds, by the way :-)

Hope to see more of your images
