I was shooting into the valley and hence was getting wonderful backgrounds , managed only 3 different birds but with dream settings
this one is a Himalayan bulbul
5D MIII + 400 f2.8 + 2x tc
F8, 1/400 , ISO 1000
Attachment 127290
I have cloned a leaf on the right top corner , and i guess i could not keep down the burning of the white patch on the bird to get other exposures right

Never seen this bird, really cool crest. Very sharp, nice HA and catch light. Shadow doesn't take too much away. Very nice BG.

Magnificent image of sweet bird.Love the look back pose with nice colors,sharpness,perch and beautiful BG.
If mine ,would crop on the top and RHS.

Definitely a winner with that head turn and BG. Thank you for sharing.

Classic looking back over the shoulder pose, which is very nice. Very sharp, might even be too sharp. It depends on what you like I guess. Excellent background.

Very nice indeed, nicely isolated and contrasting well from the background....I think cropping a little tighter from top and righ would improve further and would back off the sharpening on just the head region

Great bg and detail. Nice head turn as well The face seems a little over sharpened to me.
