I like the very up close and personal view of the thrush Harshad. The BG is very nice and I like the character of the perch wood. The bird itself looks sharp where it counts with nice eye contact and an open beak.

I had to open this to find out what OHGT stood for.

Beautifully colored bird well captured.

Harshad,

I love the colors in this image, the background compliments the colors of the bird very well. My first impression was that this image could use a little more space in front of the bill, now I am not so sure after viewing it for awhile.

I may have bumped up the ISO to get a bit more shutter speed and then used f7.1 for a dof to try to get the tail as in focus as the rest of the bird. Love the open bill and nice look at the interesting head plumage.

Neat singing pose, interesting perch, wonderful background and nice detail at this size Harshad. Perhaps more DOF for tail and the bottom part of the perch would be ideal but that's pretty minor with such a nice image. Slightly tight for my tastes but not by much.

great bird and perch and bg, Harshad. nice details also. it's a bit tight in the frame for my personal taste, but just barely, so if you have more room in the original, you might consider composing it just a little looser.

Nice close shot! Your Orange-headed Thrush is slightly different from the South-East Asian ones. The face markings are beautiful.
