Hi Sanjay. Always nice to get a bird with a snack in its beak! I like the BG. I would have liked the bird to be looking more towards the viewer. The top of the perch is a little bright; I would consider toning it down. I'd like to see a little more room at the bottom of the frame. And I'd probably do some additional sharpening.

Please try to include your EXIF data with all of your images. Thanks!

Hi Sanjay, I hope you do not mind I took the liberty of running some sharpening over the bird. Basically in PS4, in lab color, sharpening only the black and white. Agree with above comments.

Nice catch for both of you. TFS
