Mital....stunning details. Loved the pose and the perch. I think a little more room at the top will make it better but I am not very sure. Lets see what others think.

Very cool eye! I love the composition w/ the thorns. Beautiful details and sharpness. Nice BG!

Wow, what a stunning capture. Lovely detail, pose, perch and background!
Such a frame-filling capture at 280mm? A very cooperative subject or a hide or do you just have a way with birds? :)

Very loverly. Great use of d-o-f. Sharp on the eye and elsewhere. Loverly BKGR also. To bad about the frayed tail feathers. Perhaps a tiny bit more head turn towards us. All in all, and excellent image.

these birds will never offer clean image , getting them on clean BG is winning key here , rest is fantastic , VWD Mitalbhai
