I got this beauty just as I had entered the park, after a long trip from Pune to Jaipur and then from Jaipur to Tal Chapper. What a sight for sore eyes.......
It is said that there are only about 30 pairs left in India, and Tal Chappar had 3 of them. One poor thing had a broken a leg. I was transported to bird paradise..:w3
A new species for me.
I like the fairly low POV and the raised leg.
IQ of the bird is very good.
Exposure spot on and soft light is very nice.
I find the grasses in the BG quite distracting.
If this was mine I would take a bit off the top and clone out the curved grass to the right of the bird and the grass coming out of the rump. I would also clone out the ? fly above the forehead,

Love the pose and habitat. Agree on the grasses.
Very nice shot.
Love the pose, excellent details, and great shooting angle.
Very good advice given by Gail.
Well done.
Awesome IQ on the bird. Super pose and colors. Grasses are problematic. Agree on a crop which I think would help bring the attention to your subject rather than the grasses.
Congrats on a rare find, and it looks very well exposed with sharp details. I agree with the advice you've already received.
Gail, Thank you for the advice. Have noted the issues, will re-post the image with corrections tomorrow.Quote:
