A nice flight shot. A bit small in the frame for me.

Thanks a lot Yogeshbhai, I think the Head is parallel to the position and balanced.

Looking for more views on that.

Alan,

I appreciate your views and wish i could have got more closeup to go in more. this is the best i could have gone keeping the details as its almost huge crop from actual horizontal frame..

Mital, I'm with Yogesh on the HA. Wish for a bit of head turn and I wish the bird was more to the right as it appears to have just passed you. Exposure and light look nice. Hope you get a closer encounter soon.
