Like the colors in the beak and the composition.

Nice eye contact. There seems to be loss of details. Was any sharpening or other post processing done? Thanks for sharing.

How much of crop is this? Looks like you have done some noise reduction. I would not prefer to sacrifice details for eliminating noise.

Thanks to all, Sir its about 20% crop and yes, I have done some NR in Lightroom, but in future I must obey you. Mam, Its a bit sharpened and applied NR. Thanks all again to devote your valuable time to view and comment.
