Mousam, Beautiful bird. The background contrast with the bird very well, allowing him to stand out in the image. Composition is right on. Looking at the exit data, not sure why you had 1/4000 sec for a bird on a perch? A slower shutter speed would have allowed you to have a lower ISO, which would allow even better image quality.

Great looking bird. Color is beautiful. BG could benefit from some additional noise reduction.

You are absolutely correct, Sir. But that time I just tried to capture her in flight. For that reason opted for high shutter speed. In the mean time she gave me the chance to capture her in this perch. Thanks for commenting, Sir.

Very colourful bird on a great BG makes it stand out. As Gene stated I am not sure why you have those settings but they seem to work to produce a fine image.
