Nice image Mrudul. Is this Full Frame?
The OOF part at the bottom distracts a bit. I'd suggest cropping it off.

Repost:
1. Removed Cast from Magenta towards Green.
2. Level Adjustment
3. Sharpened.
4. Cropped

I like the composition. The eye contact is nice. The body is parallel to the camera sensor and hence the beak to tail is covered.

Repost is more greenish and looks over sharpened in my screen. With these birds, it is important to judge the sharpness by the beak rather than the feathers, as they can be misleading.

Overall, looks nice.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Thanks for the comments.

Bibhav, thanks for the repost. There might be a slight cast. I do like it that way. In Lightroom one can move around the WB and the tint sliders to correct those. Upto individual taste.

I have to do a firmware update to correct that cast, it is long time pending. Thanks for pointing it out. Will do it soon .

Hi Mrudul ,

The image of the bird is very sharp and has a nice eye contact. Loved it.

I did not understand the comment about 'Firmware Update' ... what is that ?????
