Great details. I do not know, I may be wrong, why I am missing the soft feel of the image. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Saktipadaji, the soft feel of the image may have been compromised by the cluttered, dark, background and the craggy granite blocks in the foreground.

Nice eye contact. The image looks a bit oversharpened with the artifacts visible in the feathers. Did you click it from a boat? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
