Asian Paradise Flycatcher: female.

[Satish Ranadive]

So far I have posted the images of males; here is the image of female Paradise Flycatcher captured few months back.
Cropped, sharpened and NR applied to background.

ISO: 2000, 1/500 @ F: 5.6.Spot metering. Exposure bias: +0.3.
White balance: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 100-400.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Hi Satish, super pose across the perch with the raised crest. Its amazing to see the clear cut line where the two colours of the plumage meet between the head and body. Nice smooth BG too.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Satish - very nice detail and colors throughout. I see a bit of artifacts (not sure if that's exactly what they are called) at the juncture between the top of the tail and the background. I would consider a pass of NR on the background as well.

[Richard Unsworth]

Very nice capture Satish, agree on those marks near the tail, caused by edge selection I think.

Satish:

Lovely little bird, good pose, well exposed. Still a bit of noise showing in the BG, not bad.

To my eye, the back is just a bit sharper than the head, so perhaps a sliver more sharpening on the head.

Cheers

Love the pose, eye contact, head turn and the colours of the bird. The erect crest is a great touch. I just noticed that the background has a spot on the left top corner which is nicely matching the colours of the bird.
Great work, Satish.

This is beautiful, Satish. I love the pose and look the bird is giving you. The background is a lovely complementary color and all looks sharp and well exposed.

Very nice image. Noise control is excellent considering you are at an ISO of 2000 ( or is that a typo?)Agree on another round of NR in BG.
I like the colors in the BG and the HA.
I wish the perch was a bit smaller but really like the diagonal line it creates.

Lovely bird! Excellent pose and the lighting is soft and easy on the eyes.
A definite need for more selective NR on the background, otherwise, really
like it.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, eye contact, raised crest and complimentary BG. Well done Satish.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Wow, this is a special looking FC! nice look-back pose, sharpnes, light and BG. My only wish is for a smaller diameter perch but I can take it as is!

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot. I really like the pose, great perch, and nice background.
Great shot for such a high iso.
Well done.

Thank you all.

Lovely pose, colors, BG & perch. Great details for 2000 ISO with 550D. TFS

[arash_hazeghi]

nice pose, good details and the soft light is a plus. I agree with more NR on the BG.
