@SUNIL RAO hi Sunil, the raw image is also really beautiful. If you use Photoshop, add a new layer and use remove tool to remove the out of focus branch as per your liking, you can check the before and after results by toggling with Layer Visibility.

If you are using LRC then use the clone tool to remove the twig.

Beautiful capture Harsha.. bird is posing nicely with the details captured.

Looking at the background there are bit of creative options of going low key. You may have tried to reduce the exposure to say -1/-2 but that’s a different point of view.

All in all very nice image.

Beautiful capture Jahanabee, the scene is beautifully setup with the subject in lower third of the frame. Couple of things I would have tried is to may be get at 150-200mm focal length and get an environmental or habitat shot of the subject instead of zooming in at 570. Having a bit of greens could have elevated the cub even more.

@Harshit Keshari sure thing Sunil, but if you look a bit closely, the heavy cropping has caused the background to mix with the beak. This could also be due to using the lens blue feature in Lightroom if you have used it in this image.

@SUNIL RAO hi Sunil, I was shooting a mamal so I did not felt a need of using multiple focus points. When I shoot BIF then I truly to keep max 9 focus points. This has a risk of missed shots but in a burst I can get one or two clear ones with focus on eyes.

Thanks Arvind the other reason why I was little hesitant to go for 70 mm is the legs of tigress was anyways not visible due to bit of tall grass. Yeah the orange of the tiger is due to my photoshop colour profile settings which I am struggling with at the moment.

Hi Rachin, Amazing moment capture, in my opinion the frame is little to tight as based on your raw file you have space on both left and right side.. may be if you put in 4:5 crop ratio it would be awesome, also you might want to increase an exposure a bit and selective processing on background can give you a bit more depth to the image.
