Very nice light and great feather detail.
I like the light in the eye and the nice colors in the BG.
I like your comp but could see a version with a bit off the right.
Expsure is perfect,
Gail

Nicely taken, Sridatta. Lighting is great and that smooth BG gives super isolation from the Phoebe. That 400f5.6 is one sharp lens!!

Hi Sridatta, lovely pose in good light, and good DOF on the bird. The finer plumage shows up nicely, and you have a nice smooth clean BG. As Gail mentioned, some off the RHS wont harm the image, and trying a vertical could work too.
