    Excellent colors and BG Harshad, love the separation between subject and BG. comp-wise would go tighter as there is too much empty space in the frame.

    I like the detail against the soft BG. I see this as a pano with a hard crop from above at the level of the top of the pale line in the BG. The ruffled plumage is great.

    Harshad, this is a very pretty shot, and whilst I think it works vey well as presented I also think that it might work well with a slice off the top, making more of a pano :)
    Best,

    Like the wider approach very much, light and background is very striking. I agree on a possible pano crop.

    Sweet shot HB. Colors in the background and bird are nice, vegetation adds to the shot and I too instantly rolled it up the monitor for a pano and liked that as well. Great fluffed up bird shot.

    Harshad, just was reading the pano suggestions above then saw you had re-posted. This is an improvement on an already excellent image. You get a feeling of more expanse in the cropped pano version. The perch area and bird stand out so well with that BG. Congratulations.
    Best regards

    Harshad, I like the golden color tones and the fluffed up look of the feathers. The repost looks good.

    I like the idea of a wide crop, setting, light and BG. I would go with the original crop proportions but put the bird higher in the frame.

    Harshadbhai, lovely light and colours, and I like the ruffled feathers on the roller. I also like how the roller is looking along the line of the perch. I like the OP.

    Thanks every one , my own choice is OP , vast space around signifies the enormous territory every bird commands
