Please Correct if i am making mistake on the Harrier Identification as not much been experienced with harriers.

All critics welcome :)

Nice light and great head angle/eye contact. I could see moving the bird slightly to the left in the frame, and maybe run a touch of additional sharpening. This species very much resembles our Northern Harrier, and sharpening can be a challenge, even when the image is sharp.

Thanks a stack Doug,
Here is rework as you suggested. Feel free for crits...

I like the wing position, HA and agree with Dougs composition suggestion. Well done Mital!

Hi Mital, well exposed on the underwings, good detail shown there. I like the colours on the harrier, and your repost does look better.

Hi Mital,

I agree with the above comments, and the re-post is excellent. Female harriers all look pretty similar to ID, so I'm sure you're correct on this one.
