Good colors in this image!  Very sharp detail in the birds face.  I like the amount of stuff in the BG, gives a good idea of where this bird hangs out.  Thanks for sharing.

The colors are amazing, Govind.  You've also got a nice clear look at this bird in it's brushy/cluttered surroundings.

A very nice pose in this image as well, Govind.  The twig crossing the bird is a bit of a distraction.  Normally, I'd recommend removing it digitally, but with the shadow of the leaves falling on the Rail, I don't think that's feasible.  It's still a really cool looking bird.
