Very nice and details have come out good.
Some space at the front would make it a good composition.
The sharpening seems a bit overdone

Nice image. The low angle is nice. Agree about the sharpening. Thanks for sharing.

Clicked at 250mm?

Agree about the over sharpening. The eye contact is good. There is a marked difference in colour between the top and bottom portion of the image. Looks like clicked around mid day.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Lovely bird, I agree with comments made, the light seems is a bit harsh

A nice bird. You might want to relook the post processing as the image doesn't feel natural.

Hi Atul,

This is a lovely bird .. its really very hard to spot them as they seem to camouflague really well on the mud tracks. It is a nice capture but I feel reducing the sharpness would add more feel to the image..

your pictures are always good and I enjoy your tiger shots a great deal.
