Great bird in a nice pose.
From here, the greens of the BG are a bit "electric" and draw attention from the bird, so you might consider toning them down a little
sandy

Many many thanks for your input. Actually its rainy season now and the the vegetation is too green everywhere, specially in the swamplands. This shot was taken just after the rains. I will certainly tone it down.
Thanks again for your input.
With regards,
