thats Nice shot...perfect habitat image..TFS
for improvment I think needs little bit color corrections. Also I personally would have used wide aperture. to get more shutter speed and more clean BG.....

Agree with Kiran about the apeture. I was also wondering whether this could be cropped to remove the BG on the right side of the trunk? I also think you need to pull the highlights a bit.

Nishad,
I agree about cropping the bg at the right side of the trunk. It is better to compose with the tree trunk at the right side of the frame.

I would have liked a vertical in this case.

Cheers,
