Happy New Year Abhishek...
The catchlight is nice. The DOF seems adequate due to the smaller sensor. Would take a a bit off the top as the crop appears squarish. Overall nice. Looking forward to your other compositions.

Abhishek,
Wish You A Happy New Year!

A good image to start the year. I like the eye contact. The red eyes look nice. The ruffled feathers look good too. If you scroll down the browser you can decide whether cropping from the top appeals to you. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Thanks both. yes, I agree abt the crop. Cropping about an inch from the top would make it look better.
