Nice composition. Sharp. You could have placed it a bit more towards the right. Liked the perch and the catchlight in the eye. There is a small dust spot on the left. Thanks for sharing.

nice composition...

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Nice shot, nice pose and lighting and lovely OOF BG. The horizontal crop looks good. As Mrudul has pointed out, there is a dust spot.

The background looks nice. The head turn is fine. The perch is interesting. I agree about less space at the right.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Agree with the above comments. I like the multi coloured background here.
