Lovely. Nice catch light, perch and composition. I agree it is quite difficult to get them perched, mostly seen on electric wires these days. Any processing done on the background? You could have used a narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrudul for the comments.... No processing done for Background....
I wanted to clone that twig in the middle but i didn't know how to clone....
I have used Narrow Aperture for some shots will post....

Great to see this perched on a branch. A lot of times we see them either on the wire or far off. I like the eye contact. Some more details on the bird would have been great.

There is a halo around the bird. Did you lift the shadows a lot or did you do any selective processing of the bird?

Thank you Sabyasachi Patra for the comments....
no selective process done here might have lifted shadows more i think will check.....
