Beautiful bird, like all the rollers seem to be, Balan. You have a nice composition and the image quality is excellent. I don’t know how much you like to alter images or not, but fading out the green vegetation behind and crossing the bird a bit, might keep it from pulling the eye. I find the band on the left to be a particularly strong eye magnet.

Beautiful, Balan. Excellent detail and love the colors. Always a pleasure to see images of these birds. Nice perch as well.

A real beauty and a nice pose. Bird seems a tad bit soft to me. Wondering if focus hit on the upper right part of the perch.

Many thanks for your comment Allen, the focusing was done using eye tracking. Will recheck my processing

Hi Balan
Thank you for this photograph of a Indan Roller, my first viewing of the bird. Great color detail and eye contact.
