Nice environment photograph. The walking pose and the eye contact is nice. Is there a slight tilt? Some less space at the top would enhance the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

Partha,
Did you use digital zoom or did you crop during post processing?

The eye contact is nice.

Nice looking bird. Agree with Mrudul on tilt.

@ Sabyasachi Patra: The image has been cropped during post processing.
@ Mrudul Godbole & Bhargava Srivari : The tilt is due to the fact that the photograph was taken from an angle of 60-70 degree and the bird was facing away from me.

Partha,
I would appreciate if you can just address us by names without adding an @ sign. With an @ sign attached as a prefix to the name, the feeling of being treated like potatoes and tomatoes is complete. Let the @ sign remain with the financial world and in email ids.
