Nice colours. The low angle adds to the composition. There seems to be some noise, is this a crop? Thanks for sharing.

What is in the background? Is it perched in some house? How large is the crop? Including the tail would have been better, else it gives that the composition is accidental. Thanks for sharing.

thnx for the reviews...no its uncropped...shot was taken from 2-3 feet distance...its taken from my apartment's roof...I think the noise is the result of overdoing sharpening...ya I agree with the tail part...I took almost 40-50 shots of this bird...but I like this shot because of its expression...
