i know the image is soft, I think it may be due to the use of a 30x bridge camera

The red eye looks nice. A lower angle if possible would have been good. Please post the EXIF details. Thanks for sharing.

[Arpan Saha]

thanks...

iso 400, f5.9, aperture priority

[Rajan Kanagasabai]

Great eye contact. Agree with Mrudul on the lower angle. More space at the bottom to include the full tail would have enhanced the image.

Thanks for sharing

couldnot lower the angle as shot from my rooftop...though it definitely would had been better...
