Class image VMR ! Beautiful lighting, well done on composition - wing spread renders this image very artistic. Not sure wheather slight clockwise rotation will help here - you may need to try it - I am not totally sure since slanted lines some times makes it more dynamic...

Ganesh actually it is a mound rising from the right to left, I left it as it is.

VMR, It's like night background and arc light for the bird. Beautiful visualisation. Totally liked the compo.

Beautiful light VMR... a MIND can see so many things.. if it wants to... to me i like the way the rocks are tilted to the right and the bird seems to be pushing its side of the ground further down in the frame .. no wonder creativity can be so subjective.. am sure there would be various different reasons y ppl would like this picture.. as Ganesh said maybe you can try rotating it a bit.. but it works as is to me too..

Beautiful! Love the light and the way the lark stands out so prominently in the frame despite this being a scape image. Very nice composition.
