He is just beautiful, Jagdeep. The colors are really nice, detail in the feathers, and a nice perch for him, with a nice clean complimentary background. The head turn is just icing on the cake. Perfect!

Excellent detail here. Colors are spectacular. I am enjoying the background. If it were mine I might trim a little from the top.

Superb close up look…nice perch. Not much would improve this.

Lovely detail and color, Jagdeep. For my taste, it’s a bit tight, but the perch is already out of focus on the left, so more room there would have just added some ugliness. Superb results for the small amount of light you had to work with.

Image quality and colors are excellent, as mentioned. But I agree with Dennis that it feels a bit cramped. If it were mine (and I wish it were), I’d loosen the crop a touch on the left, take maybe 20% off the top, and try adding that much to the bottom.
