Ashy crowned sparrow lark

[RAM MALLYA]

Shot this one from the ground level in open ground without a hide . I had to crawl to get so close.

Shutter speed 1/ 2000
Aperture F/5.6
ISO 400
Canon 100-400 Focal length 350 MM
Canon 1D Mark II N

All C&C welcome.

Ram:

Good job getting in close here. Sharp, well exposed. Light was a bit harsh leaving some dark shadows.
Good sense of the environment without being over powering. Head turned a bit away.

Cheers

Good-looking specimen and eye contact. It looks a bit too contrasty and I would try to get more details in the blacks.
