Nice shot Ram. Beautifully exposed, highlights handled particularly well. Nice creamy BG, but I see what appears to be a bug or something above and to the left of the birds head, which I find distracting. Though I would love to see more of the second eye, the full eye has a great catchlight and good color. Lighting angle isn't ideal, but you handled it very well and the contrast is just right to my eye. Would also like to see the feet, but probably not possibly in this opportunity. The colors in this are very complimentary and make for a great shot.
You are right jfranciskay its a flying bug above left side of the bird . I could have cloned it off but wanted to keep the natural environment . And yeah i did try to get the feet in the shot by climbing on the car but this is what i could finally manage . Thank u very much for viewing and commenting .
Love the subject and eye contact. Might crop a bit off the top. Also would post a bigger image(800px) as a fine image such as this is lost in a small size. Would LOVE to see this bigger!!!!!:D
Hi Ram, Dramatic lighting and what looks like a very good EXP. Head angle is OK to good. Ideal for this would be more of a look back with the bird's head about ten degrees short of parallel to the back of the camera. Or, as Jim inferred, looking right down the lens barrel. Let's see what the rest thing :)

Ram, would love to see this in bigger light. Exposure looks very good and so is the BG. Agree with Artie on head turn but this one works for me too. A vertical 8X10 crop that includes space below for virtual tail would have been my preference.
Yes, BIGGER, at least 800 wide.
Kaustubh, how do you pronounce your name?
