Hi Varun - A truly gorgeous shot you have posted here. The color is fabulous and the bokeh is buttery sweet. I love the talons on the little guy and its intense red eyes. Beautiful rust color under the wings as well. Everything is sharp here, as expected with 1/3200 and you handle that 300 F4 well - I love mine by the way! Critique-wise, there are tiny jaggies along the upper tail feathers, probably from sharpening but it happens all the time when you reduce images to this size and sometimes I just can't get rid of them. Also, you might hear about the head angle being away from you a bit but that never bothers me. Great shot, my friend.
