Harshad,

The image seems to have lost its sharpness during post processing. Also, its too contrasty. Better post processing can turn this into an excellent image.

Cheers,
Aditya

Harshad,
I love the ruffled feathers and the lovely colours of the bee eater. I like the composition. However, I agree with Aditya regarding the post processing. The image has blown highlights on the body and the blacks in the feathers have lost details (pl check the shadow area in the feathers). The out of focus branch at the bottom left corner is a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Nice shot.The eyes are sharp and the background is nicely blurred.
Lovely composition.
