Somdeb, what a beautiful image, love the pose, perch and lovely BG - even got some pollen, (I assume), on the beak. Wonderful dynamics with the diagonal orientation & comp - very well done.

Charming! As you say- wonderful colors. Sorry, can't think of any criticism, at least nothing negative!

Wonderful colors, composition, lovely perch and BG. Only thing is, I see a bit of a blur, maybe a slight motion blur. But either way this is a great image.

Thanks a ton for your input. I agree with you that the flowers are a little oof. The subject got too close and my TC was attached. I didn't get the time to mount the tripod. I opted for ISO1000 and f7.1 - f9 and ISO1250 would have been better in my opinion.

Anyway, thanks again for your comment.

with regards,
Somdeb.

Thanks to Debapratim Saha for continuously teaching me from the scratch. Also thanks to Arabinda Debnath for giving me newer insights about the world of photography.
Its really fun learning so many things.

NSN is really great providing such a wonderful platform to a newcomer like me.

Thanks again - everyone.
