The perch and prey item are very nice, but the bird is looking away from us; it's difficult to connect as a result. The shallow DOF across the bird's back isn't ideal either. I know there wasn't a lot of light at ISO 6400, but the detail on the bird is really muted. You could also run some additional noise reduction. Such a pretty bird!

Hi Sanjeev, great you captured the KF with prey, just elevates the capture.
A bit more head turn towards the camera would be better, but wildlife is often less cooperative. Agree it needs a bit more NR, are you doing this in ACR or PS and are you using the Option button to help? There is a bit more detail you can extract, plus a slight tweak in the WB makes the colours pop a tad more. Addressing the Greens also brings a bit more depth and detail. I would also use an adjustment brush on the head and bill, here you can target Exposure and other events in one go like Hl's contrast etc.
Great to see you having fun.

Lovely little bird and good to see the prey. the feather detail is rather lacking, I cannot determine if this is DOF or perhaps some NR?

I like the crab in the beak and colors of the subject. I do agree with the other comments though. I think Steve's repost looks much better.
