HI Sandeep.....I like the positioning of the birds and the interaction,but the bird on the left needs some sharpening esp the eye. It also could use some adjustment to its brightness/contrast. The background is a bit busy....a different angle might have helped simplify!.... You might consider cropping a bit off the top.
An interesting subject....Hope to see more!

Hi - Gorgeous birds - first thing I see is the clipped tail on the bird on the left - so some more space needed at the bottom.
Light looks like it might have been a little harsh - Good HA on both birds and like the eye contact and the poses.
I might try and darken the BG just a tad will make the birds POP a little.
Looking forward to seeing more :)

These types are tough to get since stopping down is need but will bring bg into play !!

Images looks like a large crop? Don't look crisp !! Exposure looks good and did manage a pleasing bg !!! btw please get back to me with your proper name, we all use them around here. Will make the change for you !! Looking forward to the next one !!!
