This is one of your bests of your folio. The background is blurred enough to give a good look to the bird. The posture of it is also eyecatching.
Engaging one year of photography has given u a good improvement.

An excellent shot and composition T, Congrats on the award for this. I was reading one of the comments by Bob Walker and agree with him on the use of the level adjuster. Using this tool almost always makes my images appear more lively, crisper and more colourful.

Hi Tush1t (lets see if this gets through the filter),
Since usefilm filters urls in comments it would be difficult to give specific web sites that contain PS tutorials. There are many, many good ones out there, any search should net you several.
As for books, two that I would recommend are 'The Photoshop CS(or CS2) Book for Digital Photographers' by Scott Kelby and 'Pro Digital Photographer's Handbook' by Michael Freeman.
Attached is your image with the levels adjusted slightly to add more contrast. I've embedded the before and after histograms from the levels dialog box to show what I adjusted.
Normally, a good starting point is to move the white slider to the left until it is just under the end of your histogram, and move the black slider to the right until it is just under the beginning of the histogram. This basically sets the white and black points in the image. In this case, we can ignore the spike at the far left of the histogram since this represents the black frame around the image.
Additionally, you can hold the Alt/Option key while moving the sliders to see where the clipping of details starts to happen.
Keep in mind that there are several ways to perform similar tonal adjustments in PS, with Curves being one of the more powerful tools. But Levels is always a safe place to start for simple adjustments.
Hope some of this helps!
Good luck, and keep the images coming...
Bob

Thanks Bob I will try this out. I am not too good with PS. Can you suggest any books or tutorials which will help me understand the effect of setting these curves and levels. I notice some of my photos don't have the rich colors I see in other photos and I would really like to learn how to fix them. For example my photo titled "Beat the heat" on page2. Thanks for spending time going through my photos.

I love this shot. It is a little flat in contrast, though. Something that a minor Levels or Curves adjustment in your image editor won't fix.

This is a wonderful capture, Tushit.
Personally, I'd prefer a little more contrast (fairly easy to do using Levels or Curves in Photoshop, or similar app).
Congrats!
