Nice perch and eye contact. A slight off centered composition would have enhanced the composition further. Did you try a vertical composition? Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Mrudul on the composition. Also, a lower ISO would have sufficed..not sure what ISO I had shot this at..will process a vertical compo and post on monday if it looks good enough

I agree with the previous comments. A vertical composition often works for these birds due to their long neck. A vertical would work out well if you are close enough. In the horizontal composition, less space at the right would have been good. Where was this photographed? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
