Ram this is stellar image you made.
I might be on lil bit diff opinion.
Say you add space on left chop a bit on right and top as the OWl is just looking on your left a bit it may give then feeling of seeing it right to you.

Ram, very nice. details, light and BG are excellent. If mine, I'd crop such that the bird is towards the right in the frame. If you post the orig, one of us can take a shot.

Beautiful light and details. Nice perch and excellent BG. The eyes are glowing! I only wish you pointed your lens a little more to the left...

Have run some rounds of NR on the Bg and added sharpness on the bird.

Here is my take - used the OP as I feel colours and processing look better. Added some canvas to the left and cropped off the top. Saved as sRGB.

Wonderful capture...must have been tough to get everything perfect..Loved everything about the image.
Processing on original image looks better than repost but bird is positioned nicely in reposts.

Ram, I like what you have in pane#9...I'd add a tad to the right, if mine. Lot of this boils down to personal prefrences.....but you got the idea..thats important.
