Oriental white-eye. Pretty busy bird and difficult to get into open.
D 300 S, nikkor 500 mm f4 + 1.4 TC.
ISO 800, f 10, 1/80 sec, on a tripod.

very nice pose, colorful bird! The image is too bright and the red channel is blown thus highlight detail is lost. there is subtle motion blur in the beak area. Checkout the ETL and Digital forums for PP techniques. otherwise a nice image.

You can open the aperture and shoot faster to get better sharpness too.

Our White-eyes are nowhere near this colorful, stunning looking little bird, I like his stance and eye clarity....but overall the image does seem a little bright

Hi Prasanna, This is the second image I haver seen from you that is way to bright as posted looking at the specs you were shooting in low light so thats not the problem here so now I am wondering what kind of monitor you are using and if it's properly calibrated. I played around with this in PS tell me if it looks to dark on your monitor. The image is also oversharpen again and was posted without a tagged color space.

Nice pose, perch and background but it looks too bright on my monitor.

Nice bird, great advise and a lesson for me also!

Lovely image of a lovely bird. I like the pose very much and there a nice background. The perch is a little large for the bird but still works well.

There is no reason why you couldn't have photographed this bird at F7.1 or F8 and give yourself a little more speed.

Nice RP by Don. Make sure you check out the Eager to Learn and the Digital Workflow forums to help you with your post processing....and...keep 'em coming.
