This is nice image, nice pose and very well composed, I would have kept little more space around bird and also have brought down highlights little bit,basically more contrast in area below neck and head.
anyways beautiful image

Mital,
Nice image. I like the low angle. The background is diffused and helps in the image standing out. I like the pose. A bit of head turn towards you would have been better. The depth of field is good. I would have tried a little bit more contrast. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Mital,

No nits here from me. If I had anything to say I'd say I wish the bird was not dishevelled :-)

Mittal bhai, this is rahil and i hope you remember me bro. This is an amazing shot. So 80-400mm is doing wonders on d300 with you as it did with me.

Thanks for sharing.
