I spent the last weekend at Ganesh Gudi,a birding place in South India, about 450kms from Pune.
Many birds’ species visits water earthen pot for drinking water and taking bath. This Emerald dove was imaged in the evening in very low light.
Removed the blue and purple color cast, darken the BG, NR applied and brighten the bird.
That's one very smart dove Satish - vey colourful, almost looks like a clay ornament! You did a pretty good job with NR and your composition here works well.
Hi Satish, a dove I havent seen before, and a very colourful one too. Perfect pose parallel to the camera, although a slight head turn towards you would have worked, but you knew that. I feel the BG colours clash with the green of the wing, but the BG is separated far enough away to work as presented.
A beautiful bird, and one that I've not seen before. Such incredible color! Sharpness could be better; perhaps a bit of motion blur due to the slow shutter speed. But you didn't have much light at ISO 3200 and only 1/250.
Emerald Dove.
