Waah Sirjee, 500 mm is producing great results, lovely image, Nice clean BG, wish the foreground not be there, would have enhanced the image further...

Nice sighting. I like the eye contact. I think it is about the fly off. Some sharpening artifacts are visible. Is it a large crop?

In wildlife photography no focal length can be long enough for all situations. :(

At times one can use 1/4000, if there is some great action or for clicking extreme fast moving birds. Did you click any image with a narrow aperture? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Sabyasachi da , reason for using 1/4000 shutter speed is that the bird was very agile and kept moving from one branch to another very swiftly. This is a full frame shot and no crop , a normal sharpening is done.
