Interesting pose, color and sharpness. I would change the crop so that the bird is left of center and bring out some of the wing detail. There is what looks like a PP artefact just at the base of the tail. Also the OOF objects in the BG are distracting and easily removed.

Hi Colin check out the repost

[Colin Driscoll]

Yes better crop IMO. But there are still bits from your work on the background at the base of the tail and neck. And you could bring out some wing feather detail, it's there.

Another repost with some PP corrections

Your latest repost rocks man! I am going to be a butthead and suggest to remove the stick in the URC! :p You went through a lot of trouble tweaking and left the ugly bit. :) Congrats mate! :)

[Jim Crosswell]

The repost is a great improvement. I like the hanging pose and would consider removing the OOF branch in the URC as well.

Very interesting capture, also like the last repost

[Colin Driscoll]

Looking good now- you've done an interesting bird justice :)

Ram, this is a very interesting capture. I like your last re-post the most. I would agree with Akos about removing the stick in the URC.
