Nice image. I would have preferred a more proportional crop with some more space around. Which software do you use for post processing? Thanks for sharing.

Nice. good eye contact and details. agree with mrudul on framing. The eastern race Tricolour... very distinct which is not the case with other long tailed shrikes...in general they are a confusing lot.

Nice image. I would have lifted the blacks a wee bit to increase feather detail in the dark colours.

Agree with the previous comments. Moving a bit to your left would have helped in avoiding the out of focus vegetation directly behind the bird. Our minds are conditioned to the proportions of the 35mm film. So any other proportion draws our attention and hence should be avoided if there is not enough justification. It is good that you got a catchlight in the eye. A bit more wider would have been fine. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
