Man you get some beautiful birds, I am still waiting for my first sighting of our 'Narina Trogon'...HA not ideal but all other aspects look good.

Rakesh, good DOF here, and you have captured excellent detail. Although as mentioned, not the best HA, it does appear that he is aware of you. :w3

Awesome shot with a lovely BG and perch

Rakesh, I am going to go out on a limb and say the HA does not bother me here. excellent details and gorgeous bird. The dappled light wasn't ideal for BG...it never is in those forests....but I like the light on the bird.
