What a cool bird, Nishand. I hope you get lots more opportunities with it. The detail in the bird looks pretty good. It's a bit underexposed, but the darn white patches in the sky really make it difficult to raise the exposure much unless you have the software to isolate the bird from the background and just play with it. Tree canopies make very difficult backgrounds, but some birds just are not cooperative. It's hard to be sure, but it looks as if a couple of steps to your left, if possible, might have given you a more solid green background, which would have made the image work better.
