Shot this outskirts of Bangalore near Bannerghatta

Canon EOS 40D, Canon Lens 100-400m, Tv - 1/400, Av - 5.6, ISO - 400

Nice image. Liked the head turn. A natural perch would have added to the composition. The colours and eye contact add to the image. Have you tried to clone the BG?

[Bibhav Behera]

nice bird... The sharpness is low.. wonder if you are uploading files greater than 200kb...
great colours... I wouldnt have gone for a square crop (personal opinion) :)

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Bibhav - the size is 188kb dimensions 771x651, what you suggest instead of square i used square to cover head and tail that is too long

Mrudul - i did not clone the background

I agree a natural perch would have been good. Some dust spots visible. Dust spotting is accepted in photography competitions and editorial usages. However, cloning is not accepted. In this case I would prefer a vertical image with more space at the bottom rather than a square image.

Feels like vertical frame would had made things better.....
