Very nice shot Debapratim! Nicely framed with a good darker BG, making bird stand out.

Wonderful colours with the scarlet tail and nape, plus all the others including gold, black and blue!  Beautiful bird and beautiful image, Debapratim.

A real knockout! The colors, clean BG, perch and exposure are spot on.
