Nice to see a different kind of pose. You have an amazing perch and BG here with nice details in your bird.

Agree with Marina about different pose...beautiful BG, DOF and perch...Was the bird at eye level or was it sitting little higher?

It was eye level the only nit with me was like it was sitting in a shadow of a small bush you can see the reflection on the body and shade otherwise could have got much better light.

Mital bhai the slight shade doent bother me. this is a really beautiful image. I think a little lifting up of the eyes would make this beautiful image even better. I tried this. What do you think??108637

What an oddly colored bird, very beautiful. This is very sharp and the bg is really good, great perch and I like what Ramesh did with the eyes.
