Hi Sanjeev, great looking portrait with nice details and good DOF. I could see a slightly tighter crop just to get ride of the slight green sliver at top. TFS!

Hi Sanjeev, being square on has certainly helped and with plenty of SS I might have gone to f/9 here. Agree on loosing a sliver off the top and perhaps a bit off the LHS. You may find adjusting the Highlights & whites 'slightly', may help, likewise the yellow & orange as some more subtle detail comes through???

I agree with the critiques, and I also wish the heron had turned its head another couple of degrees towards you. Good BG, nice details.
