Blue Rock Thrush - Male

[Girish Prahalad]

This is a Male Blue Rock Thrush from my hometown.
Made with a handheld Canon 450D + Sigma 150-500mm.
F6.3 | ISO 400 | SS 1/2000 @ 500mm. Manual | Eval
Levels | Crop | USM | NR on BG.

Couldn't get a full view of the feet as I was precariously
standing on the top of the opposite boulder.

Critiques & Comments most appreciated.

Nice exposure and BG just wish more of the lower bird was visible as you mentioned.

Very nice image everything looking real good apart from what you and Joe mentioned. I think I would crop a wee bit more off the bottom of the perch and also clean it up. The bird is looking real good, colours are awesome against the BG. Well done Girish, and thanks for sharing this.

Great light and muted colours, point taken about the feet but that smashing looking bird certainly makes for it, excellent thanks for the opportunity to view this fine image.

Girish,
Excellent image.
These bird always give the similar pose once they notice you.

The part that is visible looks awesome! Love the exposure and details in this one. Wonderful eye contact and a nice smooth BG. Well done
