Good IQ.
I think I would like a bit more room all around and a bit more space to the right for the bird to look into,

Hi Sanjeev, well exposed, and you have brought out the finer detail nicely. I agree for a little more room on the right, and would maybe blend away the darker strip behind the head.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Dear Gail and Stuart, your suggestions make sense, I should have left more space at the front of the bird. This was a tight close up and I was concentrating on the EYE. Glad you liked the IQ and detail.

Good choice of aperture Sanjeev. I would selectively sharpen the area around the eye; in spite of being stopped down, your best focus is on the neck/breast at the bottom of the frame.

Very nice close up shot.
Details are superb, nice head angle, and agree on more room to the right.
Well done.
