Hi Udai,
Interesting shot here. Would have liked to have seen a bit more sharpness and a bit more space at the bottom of the frame.

Hi Udai,
Nice photograph. I liked the detail in the wings.Agree with Apana about the sharpness and a some more space at the bottom.Thinking if a bit more brightness and contrast would make the image more intereting.
Look forward to more..

Udai,
I agree with Apana. The egret is placed lower in the frame and the wing tip is nearly touching the edge. Composition wise it could be improved.
I increased the brightness. When you are photographing birds (a white bird like an egret) in flight against a plain sky, the meter of the camera is likely to bring down the exposure as the metering of the camera is based on 18% Gray. So you need to give a positive compensation for that.
I increased the exposure by about +0.76 and also increased the contrast.
Cheers,

Thanks Apana and Mrudul for the suggestions. Appreciate it very much. Nice PP Sabyasachi. I guess I need some more time tinkering with the settings. Come to think of it, instead of giving a +ve EC as you suggest, I had done just the opposite! Had given a -0.3 step compensation
I wanted a faster shutter speed so had bumped the ISO to 800 and given a -ve compensation. Now I think I should have opened the aperture to 5.6 instead of fiddling with the ISO.
Thanks for the time guys.
Cheers
