It is tough to get these fast moving birds sharp at 1/250. The branch is sharp, indicating there was no camera shake. The males are tough to shoot, exposure wise, if there is a white flower nearby. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice eye contact. It is good you got it perched in the clear. You could have placed it bit more to the right. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image Satish, was it created with the 400mm f5.6 or one with an IS function. As mentioned by Sabyasachi, I find it difficult to get the camera+lens contraption steady at 1/250s, so well done. Also agree with Mrudul to have less space on the right and lower part of the image.
