Mital:

A clean image, with nice colors, good head angle, sharp and well exposed.
I might consider removing the bright thorn on top of the branch.

This bird reminds me of a grosbeak. Are they primarily seed eaters?

Cheers

[Mital Patel]

yeah they are randy.. but this is the subspecies of the Black-headed Munia..

[Stu Bowie]

Good sharp detail Mital, and I like the light and colours. Super pose against a clean BG.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice munia! love the clean BG and pose. Nice perch too.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great pose, detail, perch and BG. I agree with Randy on removing the thorn but it is beautiful either way. Well done Mital!

[Bryan Hix]

Elegant looking bird. I love the colors. The BG is nice and clean and I like the way it graduates to the darker at the bottom. You might consider cloning out the two smaller vertical twigs. If it were mine I might give just a bit more room up top.

Great colour on this guy's back. Excellent head turn with this back view. Sweet BG. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more room above and lightening the iris, just a tad, could be an option for you. Good job!

Nice notes above Bhai, I loved the HA and the look back pose here..
