I forgot to mention this ones a almost 40% cropped to get the composition . As per earlier comments form BPN members i have tried to shift the bird slightly to the left and maintaining space in front of the bird.

Hey Mallya - What a beautiful, little black bird. You captured it nicely with good detail and lighting. The critter is really sharp as well and the f/6.3 made for a great shot. The bokeh is quite lovely, as well. Composition-wise, I think you should try a vertical as you might be surprised at how much you like it. If you stay horizontal it would help to crop out some of the collateral stuff sneaking in on the left side of the frame and a little more room on top would be nice.

ram,vertical crop will look better in my view

Actually i wanted to post this vertical cropped image but there was no enough space in front of the bird keeping the bird in the center. Please comment

Good-looking bird and nice BG. I like the idea to crop it vertically but some of the blacks are blocked. You could most likely fix this in your RAW file.

I fixed your title because it was all caps, which online is considered yelling, which you probably did not intend. :)
