I got off work early today and decided to head towards Kukkarahalli lake for some evening birding :). Shot this in the last light of dusk at Kukkarahalli lake in Mysore this evening. This is a full frame image.

Good that you got it close. The eye contact is nice. Did you recover the highlights? Wish the light was from behind your shoulders, as a catchlight would have lifted up this image. Look forward to more.

Sabyasachi, I did recover the highlights from the background. The light was from behind and the image was slightly underexposed. So I pulled up exposure by 0.10 during processing.
Nice eye contact. It is quite difficult to get it close. The vertical composition looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done. No big nits for me. That's really close. :)
