Can you kindly let me know what you think about this photograph, its composition, light?

I have been thinking how are my photographs and how do they compare if I want to go professional

Nice photo Prasun. I have not see your other photos, and it isn't easy to actually make a comment to how good your photos will be if you shoot professionally, based on this photo.
Being a professional is many things - but firstly it is not about a good photo or two - it is about being consistently good and able to produce what your clients want. Thats more or less how it works.
But there are many ways to do things - selling online, selling on photostock libraries, selling in galleries, and important - find the right customer for what you have to sell. Remember that an opinion about your photo is subjective - some will like it - others will not. What is telling is who is willing to pay for it.

Thanks a lot for the information, I will definitely keep this in mind. I have just joined the group and will be posting more here. I just wanted to know the view of group members on this photo and then move on with others. Thanks a lot again.

Nice capture and welcome to the forum.
Interesting subject, good light, good background colour (and separation) and sharp details.

My thoughts on areas for improvement:
I'm not very convinced about that particular crop/framing. For example, the image is just clipping the tip of the wing. I like to get the whole whole bird in the frame, or a specific area of the bird (for example the head) so that there is a clear point of interest for the viewer.
The subject is facing the opposite direction which I like to avoid in most of my shots unless it adds to the story.
Final thought, I would reduce the intensity of the image the editing, to make the image look more natural, in particular tone recovery and noise reduction, but this is more subjective.

Thanks
