Nice perch. There seems to be a tilt, you an correct it in the post processing. Some more space on the right to include its beak in full would be good. Thanks for sharing.

When I was in Chennai, I had noticed that photographers and videographers believe that they should tilt the image, as for some strange reason they think that the image becomes good. Basic principle: Ensure that the horizon is level.

Also you need to see that the body parts of the bird or animal is intact.

While processing you need to check if the dark areas and the bright areas in the image show details. In this case the contrast has been increased and the black areas of the bird have completely lost details. So you may need to reprocess.

I didn't do any processing on the image. It was clicked at about 6PM
