The image looks a bit soft. What was the shutter speed? Is this a large crop? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice streak of light on the eye. Agree the image looks a bit soft. You need to use proper hand holding techniques to get sharper images. You can check the below thread for some tips to improve sharpness - http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?268-Improving-sharpness-of-your-photographs

Missed the shutter speed, it is 1/400sec.
The bird was seating in lower branch of tree, i dont want to use flash not to disturb the bird. Photograph is not cropped. it is original.

Thanks Sabyasachi Sir and Mrudul Mam.
