Indranil, I love the pose w/ the fanned tail and tilted head. It seems just a bit tight in the frame to me. Others may feel differently. Nicely done.

Good wingspread, and I like the soft light. Another vote for some more space all round.

I like the warm light and wing detail. The blue BG with hints of cloud work well with the warm tones of the plumage and yellow of the bill and legs. I like the comp as presented.

Love the wing position and the head angle. Nice warm light as well.
