Painted Spurfowl

[supreet.sahoo]

Posting here after a long break and boy did I miss the place. It has been a hectic year so far and my work has gulped all my time mercilessly. But once a birder always a birder and 2014 will be completely different. Did a quick birding trip to a nearby state to shoot some sandgrouses and spurfowls and sharing one for the moment. Please take some time out to critique or comment on this.

Welcome back. Very sharp. Beautiful bird. The image needed a ton of CW rotation, at least 3 1/2 degrees. Or it might have been 4 1/2 degrees... Did a bit of quick and sloppy BKGR clean-up.

ps: I neglected to clean up an edge on the right where I expanded the canvas and filled in but you get the idea :)
