Natural BG cloned off a branch on top right corner,Could have cloned the white patch parallel to the perch but i thought it wont bother the birds view . Another colorful bird of the western Indian forests . This was shot just after the bird took bath so you can find the feathers wet .

Aperture F/4

wish this was mine ;) .. superb image ram. i might clone that white patch. HA and IQ is superb
As u wish Mital bhai check out the repost . As i always like the natural BG which shows some habitat i try to include what ever i have shot . Hope you like this one
RAM, I like the repost, the white patch in the BG was not giving any sense of habitat but distracting so I prefer loosing it.
superb RP. and i agree with what Sapta said for cleaning that big patch ...
Good job on the PP in the repost..>Very nice BG and great perch!
The Repost looks good ,An excellent image with a clean bg and good details
An excellent repost. Nice clean image of a wonderful specie. Well done Ram.
Repost much better and a good job. Biggest problem is that the bird's head is turned away from the angle of its body.... It should at least be on "sraight."
Artie when i joined BPN 2 years ago i did not know what cloning really was . I had posted a bee eater image and said that it was almost impossible to clone the branches on the bird . You did it for me and and proved everything is possible hope u remember that . Since then i have improved my PP skills and started working on points like HA , BG etc . Thank you very much for your support and training .
Regards
You are most welcome. Do you have ABP, ABP II, and Digital Basics? Each would reduce the learning curve drastically :S3:
No i dont have any whats that ??? ABP???
ABP is the classic how-to book (soft cover) on bird photography. Published in 1998 and reprinted many times since lastly by me. More than 35,000 copies sold. The best info anywhere on exposure and exposure theory. ABP II is the follow-up that begins to deal with digital and includes everything that I 916 pages, 900 images on CD only. (Buy both and save $10 here.) Digital Basics is a PDF sent via e-mail that covers my complete digital workflow and includes dozens of great Photoshop tips.Quote:

Thanx a lot Artie i tried ordering the book in an Indian website it was out of stock i have asked for a notification as soon as the stocks arrive . Whats the difference B/W ABP1 and ABP2 . Which one should i buy first ???
Hi RAM, They have likely been out of stock for about 7 years. Nobody sells them but us :). See here and scroll down for more details. (The links there probably do not work but the info is accurate.) Each of the three is available only through BAA; we send books and CDs overseas every day :S3:Quote:

Both and save $10. If only one, ABP II is more relevant today unless you wish to learn exposure theory :S3:
Thanx Artie will order immediately
Thanx Artie will order immediately i think ABP II is better for me
Many thanks Ram, Be sure to let us know what you think :S3:
