Nice pose. Good you got some shots of this great skulker. A higher ISO with some +EC might make the subject brighter, but one doesn't get the time to fiddle around with settings with a bird like this.

Quite rare to sight this bird. Agree with the above comments. A slight more space at the bottom as the tail is nearly touching the frame would be good. Thanks for sharing.

Sucheth,
Are you clicking in raw or jpeg?

Thank you all....
@ Sabyasachi : I am clicking in raw sir

Sucheth,

The @ sign reminds me of my finance prof. Primarily used to indicate price of goods... so @ sign infront of someone's name gives an impression of being compared with kind of bag of potatoes. :) Just addressing by name will do.

Do you have space at the bottom of the frame as the tail is cutoff a bit.

Since you have clicked in raw, it will be easier to correct the white balance. When I had shifted from film to digital in 2004, I was also not knowing how to convert images and was warming up. Looks like you have chosen a shade/cloudy white balance and increased the contrast. You can correct that.
