Leaf out of Arties book..APFC
I owe this and all my images from my India trip to our fellow Avian photographer and BPN member Satish Randive. When I went there I wanted to simply photograph one bird (APFC) and was not expecting to get to see and photograph so many species. But thanks to Satish sir and group of photographer's, he introduced me to, who helped me cover maximum number of species in the area during my short stay.
It was always difficult to frame these birds in the image to do justice to their character and beauty. So I took a leaf out of Arties book and took three vertical shots and stitched them without any problem in PS. Thank you Artie for sharing all your knowledge with us and your blog has wealth of knowledge for all to learn.
This is molting juvenile male Asian Paradise Flycatcher. When full grown, except for head, this will completely turn bright white.
I was thinking of cloning some part of perch coming out of frame but simply left it as is. Hope you all like it and C&C are welcome and most appreciated.
