http://www.flickr.com/photos/tutypearl/8374241452/meta/in/photostream This is my first post here in BPN. I shot this image in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger reserve in Tamil nadu,India on Jan 6th 2013. I saw this bird fly down across the road to settle on a tree at eye level hardly thirty feet away. I was able to take my shots comfortably from my car using a bean bag and this guy was posing like a pro!.
Canon 7D, Canon 100-400 IS , ISO 400 ,Cloudy WB, @400 mm, Almost full frame, Topaz denoise, minimal level adjustments, USM applied twice.
Please share your views. Thank you.

A big welcome to BPN.

Your image is not showing up unfortunately. I have included a link that talks about how to post images. If this doesn't help, let one of the moderators know, and we can probably straighten it out!
