    This bird was carrying nesting material (feather) which makes it look like a funny mustache on a bird.

    Ram:

    Very funny, well seen and captured.
    Well exposed, sharp.
    I might burn in the brighter areas of the background just a little.

    Cheers

    Very well done. The head angle is perfect with the pose and the feather and I love the colors. What is the bird perched on?

    Good detail and sharpness Ram, and the feather certainly adds interest.
