UFF, Praveen!!! This has MASTERPIECE written on every pixel of it!!! This is the epitome of simplicity. When the image was loading, I expected it to stop just below the horns but it went on to show the eye as well and my reaction was mixed. The eye itself I think adds a splendid lot of context and presence and gives the image tremendous impact, but on the other hand some of the simplicity and symmetry of the image are lost, especially because of the second myna on the right. And finally, the conversion to black and white works fabulously!
I hope you've entered this in this year's edition of the BBC competition in the Animal Portraits section, and an alternative version with the bottom cropped out to exclude the eye in the Nature in Black and White category because I humbly think both versions deserve to win and I think they have a great chance! Thank you so much for sharing this extremely stylish image that defines your brand of art.
