I love the red of the eye and the exposure is spot on. Nice to see you posting a bird photo

Great shot, Jagdeep. Love the eye contact here. Excellent detail, and I like the side-lighting too.

Interesting side lighting here. I like the depth is provides. My only small nit as the whites on the lit side of the face look just a bit bright. Awesome bird.
