harshad,
great shot! love the eye and the details in the feathers..just lovely.
i think the lighting was a bit harsh and so the white around the eye and some portion of the beak has lost details..dont know if you can pull those back..
i really wish you would have used a higher aperture to get the tail feathers and maybe the background also into focus..i think a background in partial focus especially a vividly colored one in harsh lighting can take a bit away from the image.
a beautiful shot of a beautiful bird nevertheless.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Harshad, I think this is a fine image. Perhaps as Mayank says the highlights could be pulled a little, but it still is an effective image.

Harshad,
Nice little bird. I like the colours. It would be better if you the small leaf at the upper top corner would not have been there. I think it will be better if you can bring down the colour temperature. That would also help in controlling the highlights. I agree with the suggestion of a higher aperture. Overall, a nice image.
Cheers,
