Nice framing with the branches, however the slightly out-of-focus branch coming into the frame at the right is slightly distracting. Not sure whether you could have avoided that. Is this a juvenile?
TFS.

Nice head turn and eye contact. I bit more space at the bottom than on the top would be good. Moving to the left if possible would have helped to avoid the OOF branch on the right, but it is quite difficult to compose since there are lot of branches around the bird. Overall a nice image. You got some good bird photographs along with the tiger :).

I like the framing. Agree about a bit more space at the bottom. Using a Rule of Thirds placement might have been better. Thanks for sharing.

Wish it were close to you. Eye contact is fine. However, it was on top of a tree, so the angle is steep. Depth of field doesn't seem to cover the head. f8 would have been better.
