Nice image and composition, Ajay. Beautiful bg and details on the bird. I like how you positioned the bird. The only thing I might do here is to boost the RGB in level adjustment just a tiny bit, if it were mine. TFS.

Lovely image. Nice and simple and clean.

The bird appears a bit dark on my monitor and if mine, I might lighten it up a notch. Perhaps that is what Indranil was referring to also.

Very nicely done.

Hi - Cute bird - Like the Pose,Eye contact and HA.
Bird does look a little dark on my screen also - F14 was probably a little overkill here - SS is a little slow for the focal length - image does look sharp though.
Could have increased the ISO a little to provide some more SS - Or opened up a atd.
Like the BG.
Nice!

Hi Ajay, agree cute bird,nice perch,backround and good positioning. The first thing I noticed was the lighting on the bird which needs to be brought up . Good job on this..
