Lovely color and detail, Basri. A bank in the right direction, good eye contact and head turn, and an interesting BG!

Amazing colors, great stop action and a pleasing background. A very tough shot that you nailed

Nice colors and perfect timing nailing him while banking left.

Love the multi layered background Basri. You certainly have a nice top view of the bird with good iridescence and a really nice head turn towards you. The larger image appears to be sharp.
This is just a suggestion....You may want to try either a vertical crop or crop slightly off the top and a little off the left side to raise the bird in the frame just slightly. You also may want to clone out the light triangle area in the lower right corner to make it more uniform but other than that I can't offer any suggestions for improvement. Well done!
