Hi Sanjeev, you've done a very nice job with the capture here. There are a couple of things I would do for the sake of composition - move the bird farther into the frame (it is not a sin to center a bird like this in a vertical shot), and clone out the branches in the upper left corner. Of course I have to mention that the whole front of the bird is in shadow, and that the shot would have been better served if the light had been behind you and over your right shoulder. As it is, you could try lightening the shadows in LR or PS. I would also saturate the blue of the sky a bit. Good job with the pose and focus, I think there might be more detail in the original that could be brought out.

Very nice job. I don't like the watermark; it distracts from the beauty.

Sanjeev,

This is picky but consider moving the autograph to bottom corner. Agree some fill light could soften the shadows but must confess,..this is a sweet shot!
