    Cool looking bird Satish, nice ha and the bg is perfect. Some will say the perch is too large.

    Raised crest feathers look nice. Detail is excellent. I agree that the perch is a little large. And the bird looks cut and pasted in places (the tail feathers and the back of the neck).

    Hi Satish, lovely iridescence on the raised crest, and I like the detail around the head and beak. I would move the bird up in the frame a touch.

    What a gorgeous specie you have here, Satish. I was fortunate enough to see a male and a female during my very short visit to Sinhagadh valley last december.
    Nice bg, pose and eye contact. If you have any images of the flamboyant male, I would love to see them :)
