Nice that you got the eye in clear. A vertical composition to include the tail in full would have been good. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

The clutter all around doesn't let the bird take limelight. May be, moving a bit to the right would have helped in getting rid of that twig in front of the bird, to some extent. Agree that a vertical composition may have been nicer.

Ashok,
It is not easy to click a bird in dense vegetation. There will always be branches here and there. However, our effort has to go in minimising those or in trying to compose in such a manner that it doesn't come in the line of sight or it doesn't lead the eye away or out of the image. Moving to the right would have been good. If the curvature of the branch would have been large, then I would have suggested the branch to be on the right and the bird on the left. However, keep on trying. This is a good effort.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
