Excellent colors and details Harshad, very well shows how small this bird is. would just get rid of oof branch and trunk on the right

Harshadbhai, I like the pose of the flycatcher following the perch. Thats one long tail he has there. You certainly managed to capture him in the open.

Harshad, clean BG on these guys is not easy. Well done.

For others who dont know, this is a juvenile. Male is white( instead of chestnut) and the tail is even longer. Female has same colors as this one without the long tail feathers. head is always black.

Harshad, what an amazing bird! You found a nice opening where all the bird is visible with some nice habitat details. Really this species looks like two birds smashed into one!!
