Taken in the month of April, 2013. Cropped composition and sharpened. OOF sparrow on the RHS below the tail is cloned.

WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Satish:

Well exposed,soft colors in BG.

Wish I could see the birds bill a bit better.

I can see your sharpening on the bird, but the details look a bit murky, as if the raw wasn't quite in focus on the bird.Obviously no motion blur at this shutter speed!

Cheers

Agree with Randy's points. Would definitely like to see a little more beak.

Hi Satish, good feeding behaviour, and I like how he is perched on the one plant and eating on the other. Colours on the sparrow look spot on, and I like the OOF streaks in the BG, they are following the pose of the sparrow.

Nice shot.
Great feeding action, but as already noted. Wish for more of a beak view.
Still a nice shot.
Well done.

Lovely image Satish, I like the behaviour and the visible eye with catch light. More of the beak would have been nice but still a nice image.
