    Aditya:

    Beautiful little fellow, sharp, well exposed, with well scaled perch and pleasant background.

    I might move him slightly to the left in the frame, a bit centered for my taste.

    Cheers

    Neat little bird. Nice head turn and exposure. The bird is sharp on a nice perch and a great BG.

    Aditya, not easy one to nail...and you did it with a short lens. Incredible, he allowed you to come that close. nice colors, exp., pose, perch and BG. agree that its a bit centered. to my eyes, it seems oversharpened. would love to have this bird in my files. On my next visit to home, perhaps :-)

    Thanks everyone for the C&C :D I did think it was a bit over sharpened, will take care next time.
    Point about composition noted as well :)

    What a beautiful bird,Aditya! Great colours and feather detail.Agree on moving bird more to left and slightly higher in frame.

    Beautiful shade of blue here! Details look good (including sharpness, which looks OK to me too). Agree about comp, and I wish the bird's head wasn't pointed downwards so much.

    A very simple but very striking image at the same time. Not easy to do. On my monitor it looks just a bit too sharp, but not much.

    The blue color you captured is outstanding.
