Please check my earlier Paddy field Pipit image.

There were comments to crop the out of focus plant in front. I am posting another image where I did that. The overall image is cropped 16%

This is how I calculate the crop:
Original image size: 3504*2336
Cropped image size: 3207*2138
Percentage crop = {(Original image -cropped image)/Original image}*100
= {[(3504*2336)-(3207*2138)]/(3504*2336)}*100 = 16.2%

The previous paddyfiled pipit image posted by Bibhav is of the same bird as we were clicking from different angles.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII ie. at 800mm, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/200.

id tips: Coloured like the female house sparrow. Streaked with brown on breast. A slim bird with slender bill and long tail with white outermost feathers.

Wow... See the stark difference in image quality... :)
LOL
Nice composition...

I liked the green in the BG and the few dew drops. It gives a very pleasant look to the image. Thinking with a slight higher aperture you could have possibly got the whole bird in focus.

I need to check how I have got this photograph, I have still not processed those :).

Lovely pose and compo. Agree about the aperture thing stated by Mrudul. Saturation seems a bit high though...? It looks better in Bibhav's image to me.
