Randy Stout,
Sir,
Thanks you all for the comments.Here is the another image with space below,however I have cropped more on below because tail is in OOF.I hope you will like it. APFC-4. by satishchandra, on Flickr
Having the tail, even though out of focus, adds a lot IMO. If you have any free space below the tail and frame edge, that would help also. With current crop, I would add back in just a bit more on top, so that the bird isn't quite so big in the frame. Not back to the original amount of space on top, but a bit more.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with an OOF tail due to DOF. Everything that should be sharp is!! The reposts are much stronger visually and compositionally...taking the time to add some room below would be well worth it IMO.
