Sanjeev, I photographed this in Bangalore.

Thanks Girish, I am visiting Bangalore this month end. Can you guide me as to the best places for birding around Bangalore. I would appreciate any help in this regard. Am going to Coorg by road later.

Girish,

You captured a wonderful moment in some terrific light. The ground "perch" is great, and the stem on the right adds a touch of balance to the image.

I do wish that there were some separation between the two, but you can't ask for this in the field.

This looks great...super perch, BG, flower at right. I like a clean edge and for that reason I'd remove the dark green spot at lower edge.

Excellent image Girish! I like the perch, pair, sharpness. light, exposure and BG.

Really interesting and beautiful light quality. I enjoy the dual eye contact. Sharp crisp details.
Composition is excellent, particularly with the flower adding balance on the right.

What a shot. Loved it all the way...the BG, the moment, sharpness, the mound. I think having only one eye of the adult visible is adding a ton.

I do like the stare on the back bird, but overall very nicely composed and sharp, extra bonus getting two in the one shot. To me it looks a little dull and flat, but a simple brightness tweak would make it a little nicer in my opinion

Wonderful image of mom and kid.

Regards,
Satish.

What a shot, Girish! Fantastic image design, excellent work with the two birds in focus. Would it be possible to select the little flower (that balances the composition nicely) and mirror it such that it would be facing the other way? I love it as is, but it may be more effective pointing back into the frame as opposed to how it is now, pointing out. I still don't have photoshop but I believe it's possible. (Digital Basics for the win)

Really nice capture here Girish.

This is gorgeous.
Love the smooth, soft lighting.
