    Sanjeev:

    Agree about the perch, but a very attractive fellow, not one I have seen before, impressive bill.

    Sharp, well exposed. I might consider cropping a bit off the top, to reduce the apparent steep shooting angle.

    When possible, images with the head angled slightly towards us tend to be more engaging.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I fully agree with Randy. I always prefer to see at least some natural habitat or background included in a bird portrait, to give it some context.

    Wicked bird with a huge bill. The perch is what the perch is. Colors, SH, and EXP all good. Now get him on a clean perch neat the stream!
