Beautiful bird, perfect sharpness and colors.

Quite a good shot of this bulbul. Nice catchlight in the eye, good sharpness, but I feel the colours are just a little washed out.

Chi, maybe, I'd try to add a little bit more of contrast, but it's just an opinion.

Great sharpness and pov. The catchlight is there.

Besides, great blurred bg.

Congratulations.

Hi, Chi.
Nice bird. Good composition. Good details and sharpness. Well done.

Hi Chi,
Very nice picture from this Bulbul. Good POV and bright natural colours. Razor sharp photo and a very fine background. Well done! TFS and regards, Ruud

Excellent capture Chi! Colors are beautiful, DOF and POV are great. Excellent details and nice background. Thanks for sharing!

With the perfect crop this would make for a nice magazine cover. Awesome capture Chi. :)

This is a wonderful portrait of a beautiful bird, Chi.

Details, colors, and POV are great.

Catchlight in the eye is lovely.

As Livio mentioned, perhaps some adjustment in the levels, or contrast would enhance this shot a bit further.

Thank you for sharing.
