Dusky crag martin with a santa mustache

[RAM MALLYA]

This bird was carrying nesting material (feather) which makes it look like a funny mustache on a bird.

Ram:

Very funny, well seen and captured.
Well exposed, sharp.
I might burn in the brighter areas of the background just a little.

Cheers

Very well done. The head angle is perfect with the pose and the feather and I love the colors. What is the bird perched on?

[Stu Bowie]

Good detail and sharpness Ram, and the feather certainly adds interest.

Nice one, Ram. Good call on going wide-open. Thx for sharing...indeed is funny.
