Hi Gunjan...welcome to BPN!!

You have some nice habitat to show here, and despite the fact of having the horizon smack in the middle of the frame it works as the subject in the top right nicely balances the comp. Speaking of the horizon, it does need a bit of counter clock-wise rotation. I also wish the subject had banked harder for a better look at the face. Nice tail spread though!

Gunjan:

Welcome to BPN. You will find it a great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer.

I agree with Daniel' comments. I could see a version with a small crop( 10-15% of free space above the bird) off the top, to really play up the grasslands feel and move the horizon line off the image midline.

There is a fairly prominent dust spot on the sensor to the right of the bird.

Look forward to more! Be sure to include your camera/lens info and any post processing details. That helps us critique the image in a meaningful way.

Cheers

Thanks Daniel for the welcome wishes and the inputs. Shall be straightening the horizon.

Thanks Randy for the welcome wishes. I tried placing the bird at the sweet point and hence the horizon came mid way...shall recrop as u suggested. Thanks for pointing the sensor dust.
