Lovely image Satish, I have never seen one of these birds before. I like the pose. Must be good to be able to sit at the bedroom window and capture beautiful birds like this Well done.

Satish the BG is a bit distracting (but that is what it is) the bird looks excellent, wish I could get a shot like this from my window, very well done.

Nice look-up pose here - but I can see the IQ has suffered from shooting the 100-400mm through the glass of the window
There's also a halo running all along the outline of the bird, perhaps from sharpening?

Very nice image Satish, lucky you found him outside your window, agree with Morkel though. TFS. Well done.

A peeping tom, perhaps? Interesting pose and good exposure. IQ actually looks pretty good on my screen, considering. Halo noted.

Thank you all for the feed back and comments. I will take of Halo.

Regards,
Satish.

Great profile view, Satish. Excellent pose. You can try darkening the background a bit to make the shikra stand out. I find the OOF branch in LLC a bit distracting - not sure how this will look with a smaller crop.
