Very good Shot!!
I also like the cool background and the low perspective.
I may highlight some of the details and increase the canvas on the right little bit.

BTW, I just visited your and your friend Ganesh's Website and I must say there some of the best pics I've ever seen. Also, I was startled to see the variety of birds present in India. I really complement you and your friend for taking so many Amazing pics.

What just left me speachless here was the light, it is magical! The pose is grat and sdharpness too, but the light.. wow.. it is great! A bit more room to the right would help. Congratulaitons!
