Interesting action shot Nishand. I think it could use more sharpening if possible. It seems just a touch soft like the focus may have been just in front of the bird on this.

A fun image, Nishand. The stick in the beak and you title are great. The bird seems a bit soft which could be due to the relatively low shutter speed. Your shooting information says that you had VR turned off. Unless you were on a good sturdy tripod with the head locked down, I wouldn't turn it off as it can buy you just the extra stability you need in a case like this. Also, with a light colored bird in the sun and a shady, relatively dark background, you probably want to go with -1/3 to -2/3 exposure compensation. That would reduce the blown highlights on the legs and wing and also buy you a touch of extra shutter speed.
