Nice pose. This looks like a large crop. There are also some sharpening artifacts visible. I would love some more details on the head. Were you handholding? The Sigma 150-500 despite being a small lens, has the 500mm focal length which is a lot and on top of that if you crop, then that enlarges the image by several times and any imperfection is highlighted. So you may like to check the tips on handholding in the photography tips section http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?268

Lowering the colour temperature will be better along with lower saturation levels. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice calling pose captured. Liked the perch and the eye contact. Slight less space on the left would have been good for an off-centered composition. Thanks for sharing.
