The light was low, so I had to up the ISO. Taken Handheld. Wish I could remove the OF bird in the ULC of the frame.

You did well in low light with high ISO...yes it would be good to get rid of the OOF bird in corner...BTW I have never seen a myna with that kind of beak...what type is it?

[Mike Milicia]

Cool bird with nice perch and setting!
I don't mormally like to crop too tight but, in this case, I think cropping a bit more off the top would be helpful to lessen the effect of the OOF bird.
Wish the head was turned a bit more toward you.

Sweet image, Sanjeev. Agree with cropping a bit off the top, to just below the top of the yellow leaf at UL. This would also result in a more rectangular, and perhaps more dynamic, image. Well done!

Sanjeev;
Beautiful image of myna in environment.Love the pose with nice colors and details.Agree about crop on the top and may be silver line at the bottom.
Sachin: This Myna has deformed beak.

Regards,
Satish.

ISO 2500 on a 7D...that's very impressive.

Have to agree about the oof bird in the background, but some nice detail captured in this right down to the slightly deformed beak, I'm guessing it's a juvenile so it may straighten out in time. The extra fine detail in the eye is interesting, he/she looks like has a tiny ring of LED lights.

Added info.......this species is here in Australia as well, an introduced bird that has become a pest, and it's range is forever increasing, just recently seen in my home state of South Australia....you can have them back if you like :bg3:

I like the comp as is but too bad for that other bird in the ULC as already mentioned by others. Nice pale colours and I like the perch. Good result for the high ISO too. A better HA would have been great.
