    Light, colours, sharpness, detail and BG are all great. Composition is a bit off IMHO. Here is a repost with less at the top and right and a bit more at the bottom. Would like to see the bird even a bit higher in the frame if you got the room at the bottom.

    Rakesh, spot on with the colours, sharp with a good pose. I do like how he is perched between the two lots of leaves. Ofer's comp does look better.

    Nicely done Rakesh. Love the diagonal perch. The leaves add a nice touch and frame the bird nicely. Nice bg, HA + snack to boot.
    Like Ofer's repost.

    Lovely capture and the crop in repost works well. Your colors are gorgeous and I love the greenery on each side. Unless for a contest, I would consider removing this particular spider web b/c it distracts to my eyes.

    Well done on the exposure, details, colours. BG could use a bit of NR as posted, and Ofer's tweak improves the comp. I also agree with removal of the web strand.

    Agree with Daniel's comments. I see some faint dust bunnies too.
