Very nice look at this beauty Debapratim. The larger post offers great detail and the exposure is perfect.

Wonderful color, and the exposure is excellent, Debapratim. The clean background isolates your subject perfectly. Very well done.

Oh, my- how beautiful. Just perfect in my estimation-so elegant and so well contrasted with the brilliant flowers.

Although it was shot on a foggy overcast late winter, personally, I would still add some contrast, brightness to it.

Debapratim, Very difficult shooting conditions exposing for bright colors and very dark colors. Agree with DChan about the brightness.

Reminds me of a tanager in the foggy mountains of Ecuador. Excellent composition.
