Hard to get bored with image like this Harshad, lovely details and good eye contact from both birds.
Wonderful sharpness and colour, with a lovely background. My only concern is with the pose - it's interesting to think what the right bird is doing, but long-term I think I'd prefer something more traditional :)
Like it all the way around Harshad.
Have to disagree with Graeme...everyone shoots traditional and personally I think non traditional poses is what sometimes sets images apart from what everyone else does.
A love more "natural" shots as well. Adds interest to the shot and a snapshot into behavior. I also like your caption, it fits!

surely not bored bhai, Beautiful looking couple doing their routine captured, nice light too...
Very nice, two in the frame looking away from each other makes this image for me and the quality of the image
Harshad, I really like the details and sharpness you got on both of them. Very nice poses
excellent capture.
Harshad:
Very fun, I like the opposing poses. I have been really enjoying this series.
Two minor thoughts:
1) The image is just a bit bright for my taste. I pulled down the brightness slider in ACR 10-12 points, which works for me.
2) Slight crop change, with bit more space to left, bit less to right. This keeps the left bird from seeming quite so crowded against the frame edge. To me it also strengthens the two birds being in opposition, by balancing them more evenly.
Very nice as is, just an option.

Harshad, loved the poses and the perches. As Randy said, I also feel that it is a little too tight. Very good capture of the moment.
Just to clarify my thoughts (but it's all personal taste with these things, so I'm not arguing), I think it's the bent wing of the right hand bird that I'd like to see a bit more of, giving it a little more of the balance he/she's obviously striving for. As it is, I feel a little 'uneasy' looking at this picture, which is not my style.
I prefer the original crop, by the way. The right hand bird has more weight so a slightly more central position works for me.

Beautiful interaction Harshad and lovely colors, Randy's repost is a subtle improvement.

Here is another composition option for this stunning image - added to the left and top and cropped off the right. Didn't feel it needs any other adjustment - re brightness. Please keep them coming they are stunning birds.
Would love to hear feedback.
Cheers,
Ofer
