Good that you clicked it close. It is ready to fly. A more conventional crop would have been better here. Including the complete tail would have enhanced the image. The overall image looks a bit greenish. Thanks for sharing.

Nice eye contact. It is quite difficult to get this one close as it is a very shy bird. Agree a vertical or horizontal framing with the full tail would enhance the composition further. What was the White balance? Thanks for sharing.

Loved the pose here. Eye contact looks good. Agree about the greenish tinge in the image. White balance needs to be corrected to get the natural colors.
