Hi Manoj: Certainly an interesting bird. Your lighting challenge looks like a tough one with the bright white sky. This image would have been helped immensely with the use of fill flash to bring some light into the front of the bird and tame some of the contrast. I wish for more room top and bottom as it feels cut off at the bottom and very tight at the top.

Good detail and pose. Looks very flat and under-saturated.

I agree with Keith. Too much of the color is lost against that harsh background...Would be nice to see all of the bird, too.

I agree with Keith's assessment of this shot Manoj.
