An attractive setting, but I think the brighter BG does not set off the bird well. Maybe brightening the bird would help. To me it seems to be a bit soft. Neat bird, thanks for sharing.

A beautiful bird and a great pose, Nishand. In the larger image there's detail almost throughout the black plumage, though it takes some time looking to pull it out. I tend to like my black birds darker than most, so this appeals to me, though I think maybe +.3 or .6 exposure compensation would have brought out more detail in the shadows without making the bird look unnaturally bright.
