Nice pose. It is good that you got the eye without the shadow. The dead leaf is a bit of a distraction. It seems you are needing more cropping with your Mark IV due to its larger sensor vis a vis the 7D. Slightly reducing the colour temperature will also be good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Good eye contact and well timed these are fast moving leaf foraging birds .

Lovely image.The downward pose of the bird is nicely captured.looks as if it was just about to take off.

Lovely shot Praveen... love the composition. The absence of the dry leaf at the top would have made this even better.

Agree with comments made.

Nice looking bird and a good pose. The eye has come out well.
