very nice Harshad, common bird but great feather detail and low angle adds more. TFS. hope to see you post more in the Avian forum!

For coming three and half months I will have to shoot birds only :)

Great job on this "common bird" Dada!

Yeah, monsoons officially arrived over here in Kolkata too!

Angle, BG and soft light look good. I wish there were a bit head turn toward you and that we could see the entire tail. I would also lighten the eye a bit.

Harshad, Beautiful details and BG color. I do wish the head was turned slightly towards you more. Love the blue in the wings.

Hey Harshad, good exposure and details. I love the blue wash on the forewing. HA mentioned, and I find the OOF FG element in LRC somewhat distracting. I'd also clone/patch out the larger light specks on the perch.

good shot my friend, I would go with the bird smaller in the frame, more room on the left, and the feet would be nice!!

Harshadbhai, these are the same as ours here. I like the colours and detail, and the angle works well.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Harshad, liked the sharpness a lot. Rest everything has already been covered. Post more indian birds, please :-)

[Troy Lim]

Harshad, very nice, agree with Ray's comment.

Exposure, detail, POV, and colors presented nicely on this common but beautiful bird.
