Satish, I am always impressed with what you get from your 550D, particularly here at 1/30. Beautiful bird. Perhaps Stu could pop this into this month's Theme collection.

excellent shot Satish, great colors, sharp with good details. love the BG too but might crop a bit tighter by cropping from the left and top

Great shot Satish. It is a beautiful bird with amazing colors. Looks sharp, well exposed. bg works well and great timing with the bug.

[Bill Nuttall]

very good - sweet shot

[William Dickson]

A really nice image Satish. What lovely the colours are. The bird pops nicely against the BG. Very nice details.

Well done

Wow Satish!! This is great. Love the colors and the details, not to mention the mantis in the beak. One of your better frames IMO

I like the OP better Satish, but composition is such a subjective issue,

Oooh nice! I missed this one, sensational Satish!!

[Bill Dix]

Somehow I also missed this one. The best of the KF shots IMO. Fabulous colors, good detail, lovely BG, and terrific prey. A fine image all around. Congrats on the Theme.
