Slightly different head turn and you would have got a catchlight in the eye.

Magenta dominates in the background. Rather than making the background dark like that of night, just keep it normal and the image would look better. There is more noise on the body than it should be in ISO 500. How much of crop is this?

Where in Tadoba did you shoot this? You get these birds much more closer in bharatpur. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice closeup. Good eye contact. The vertical composition looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
