Hi Vishal,
I think your CPR ( cardio-pulmonary resuscitation!) revived the "patient" fairly well.
The orange feathers look good with little noise, but the eye looks really odd. I would clone out some of those extra catchlights.
If this is not a big crop and the IQ can stand it, I would try this as a vertical,

Nice pose with an inquisitive looka, and nice background. The eye as it was mentioned, looks like it has too many catch lights.

Hi Vishal, love the inquisitive pose with the head turn, and the orange plumage really stands out nicely. Cool pastel colour to the BG, and Im fine with the comp as is, although a vertical will work too.
