    Sanjeev:

    Very strong environmental component, while maintaining a good look at head/eye, which is so important for a successful image. Nice detail in blacks without blowing out red channel. If you have the canvas, a sliver more on the left, and I might trim a tiny bit off the top.

    Cheers

    Extra good focus on the eye/head Sanjeev, good detail showing in the blacks and wonderfully clear eye. A striking bird and no doubt you were lucky to get a clear head shot in such long grass...very nice habitat composition.

    Some good points above ... love the grassy habitat!

    Composition wise, would like to see more room at left, bottom, and right.

    Sanjeev, really liked the grass here. strong lines. And you did very well getting the unobstructed view of the head. Details look good. agree with Mike's suggestion on space around.

    Sanjeev,

    This bird is fascinating to me in particular its booming call.
    You have done well here to get the bird in its habitat (long grass) yet get the head in the clear. I agree with the suggestion of more space in particular the left as viewed.
