Great light, pose, perch and BG. I might sharpen the bird a tad more and desaturate the yellows a few points.
Bird looks plenty sharp to my aging eyes. Fantastic light and colours too. Not crazy about the perch.
Thank you Axel Bhai, will sharpen a bit, but the yellows are quite the same, they are actually turning into bright orange..

Kiran
Kiran, Looks sharp enough to me too. Beautiful pose and background add to this. Well done.
Thank you Ofer Bhai and Deniseji..
@ ofer Bhai: the perch is a natural one ( dried wine twig)and I posted this pic because of the perch anything perticular that you did not like in the perch bhai...
great image, so sharp, nice bg, perch and light, i think that more space on top will be better, bye!
A truly beautiful image of a truly beautiful bird, nothing else needs to be said.
Kiran, one of the best of this specied. This is one bird I used to look forward to seeing on my trips to southern India. didn't have them in my neck of the woods. I find sharpness fine here too. and the perch as well. Beautiful BG and perfect head angle. Great colors.
How big a crop? surprised how the whole bird is so sharp at f/4. I'd like to see more room on top and a tad less below.
It doesn't get any better than this, Kiran, great EXP, colors, feather detail and perch. Big congrats, your work is always a treat to see.
Lovely specimen, detail, and I like the perch and its color. Very nicely done!
Looks pretty much perfect, Kiran. I love the colors and the detail, but what I love most is having the bird in this perfect pose on this special perch(that others don't like). Congratulations.

Kiran, I really like everything in this image. Love the pose detail colors and the curves in the perch. BG is a killer too.

Excellent Kiran, love the perch nstural and the curve is beautiful IMO , BG and details. Congrats

Thank you for your kind word of encouragement and for your valuable suggestions. Really appreciate it.
@ KD: this is about 60% of the original. the details is even throughout because my angle was parallel to the bird, not that I sat in that angle knowing that :D, I was lucky.
Perfect techs Kiran bhai. Excellent job.
BEE-U-tiful!!
this one is mighty fine image Kiranbhai
