Lovely perch and nice head turn and eye contact. The green background looks good. Some noise in the background, is it a crop? Thanks for sharing.

[Suranjan Mukherjee]

WOW! Nice shot. Cropper or full frame ? TFS.

[Roopak Gangadharan]

Nice image. Good eye contact and Bg. tough to get the exposure right on these birds.

Beautiful cute bird. The colors have come out well. By looking at the sheer size of the thorns one can figure out how small the bird must be. The bg looks nice as Roopakji has mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

[Anand Madabhushi]

Muruganji has nicely pointed out the perspective between the thorn and the bird. Eye level perch, eye contact and catch-lite in the eye....perfect.

@ Mrudul and Suranjan : it was taken Horizontal but i have cropped vertically...

Nice one. A longer lens would have given you better details. Thanks for sharing.
