    Satish the exposure is good as are colours, you may wish to lift the background a little - or indeed you may not according to taste.
    Was the aperture f29, if so that would probably account for the softness of the image. I wonder of the focal point was somewhere around the wing tip on the right hand side, sharpness is better there than elsewhere. With the 100-400 I would have gone for f8-f11 with a cropped sensor camera.

    Hi Satish,
    Image is soft with much noise likely due to the very high ISO chosen. I would lower the ISO and widen the aperture as Jon suggests.

    Hi Satish. Good comments by Jon and Allen, above. The outer edges of the wings appear sharp, but the image is softer elsewhere. There is a lot of noise throughout. If, for example, you had used f/11 instead of f/29, you could have had the same exposure at ISO 400 with minimal noise (and better sharpness within your DOF). Just something to keep in mind the next time out.
