Happy New Year to you too Sanjeev!

What a menacing stare this bird has!! I like the pose with the perfect look-back head angle. Very nice background too. Not the best of perch, and if this is full-frame then I wish you had pointed your lens a bit more to the right.

Happy New Year, Sanjeev.

This is a rather peculiar looking bird...almost a tad albino. I think your focus was on the bird's wing/belly which appear to be sharper than the bird's head. I like the look back pose and you have a very nice background.

Thanks Dan and Marina, He surely looks like one 'Angry Bird' :-) Marina, I just checked the focus point and it was on the shoulder indeed. Sorry for that. I use BBF and sometimes I forget to release the thumb while recomposing. Cheers,
Sanjeev
