Nice image. Do you have more space at the bottom? A catchlight in the eye would have been superb. Nevertheless the red eye is visible. Was it early morning and low light when you photographed this? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely eye contact. The vertical composition with the diagonal branch looks nice. Agree a bit more space at the bottom would have helped to include the tail tip in full. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you everyone. Sabyasachi- This is a full frame image,clicked pretty late in the evening on a cloudy day.The bird was too close to me,so the tail got cut off the frame in this image.Other images with full inclusion are not of very good quality,as you know clicking handheld in such poor light without an image stabilizer is very difficult.Moreover this bird,being very shy, doesn't give you much time.

Nice Image, wish the tail was in full, with that low shutter speed, you have nicely managed sharp Image by non IS lens...... Thanks for sharing.
