Beautiful image, Debapratim.  Very well composed.  I really like the symmetry and the way the two poses work together.  The only nit I have, and it is vanishingly small, is the extra stem sticking out to the left edge of the frame below the main one.  It insists on drawing my eye.

I really like this, Debapratim!  It almost looks like a mirror image.  This is one case where a centered composition works perfectly as it amplifies the symmetry of the scene.  Good detail and color on the birds and the coordinated background color is great also.  Nice shot!

Well done! I won't even quibble over the small branch on the bottom left. I will just call it a leading linesad.

Beautiful symmetry and composition Debapratim, the smallness of the birds in the frame is more than made up for by the matching vegetation on either side. devil

Exquisite composition on this one.  Great job on the color, detail, and creamy background.

A beautiful capture of these colorful bee-eaters, Debapratim. As others have mentioned the overall symmetry of the birds and perch makes this image. Fine background and light too, and perfectly composed.
