Great light and nice looking bird. A lower angle would have worked for you. Of course I don't know if it was possible.

Beautiful bird, awesome alert pose. Love the rufous undertail coverts and the insect meal is good. I'd go for a tighter 3:2 crop and find the WB too yellow. Here is a tweak for you - I fiddled with "Colour Balance" by adding blue, green, and cyan, and then reducing the blue and cyan channels in Saturation for reduce those on the black plumage.

Thanks Karl & Daniel,
Appreciate your comments. Daniel, I like the output of your tweak and agree this looks better. I am learning PP and your tip is certainly helpful. May I ask, how do I make the thumbnail of my picture appear in the title of the thread?
Cheers
Sanjeev
