Slight head turn away from you would have been better. In this case, the beak protrudes infront and it becomes difficult to get the depth of field cover the beak to tail. Entire tail would have been good. Composing with the tree touching the right frame would have been better. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image Sankar. I love those red eyes. Agree with Sabyasachi's comments

A difficult bird to photograph. Nice perch. I agree with Sabyasachi's comments. You could haev tried to move the camera more to the left. Did you try a vertical composition? Thanks for sharing.

A vertical composition would have ensured that the tail would have been nicely included in the image. Thanks for sharing.
