    Super techs Satish you did an excellent job there. I know you said as low as you could go, but lower would have been better, if these opportunities re-arise I would suggest you consider a bean bag to rest the camera on.

    Satish, congrats on post #2000! A big accomplishment! I like your Munia--sharp, well-exposed, with very nice colors. A good head angle, and good background when you consider the fact that you were not able to get lower. I always appreciate your comments on my posts, as well!

    Very nice light quality. The bird looks awesome and I like the shadow. The fg looks good.
    The bg looks a little over-processed in post. The fall of in focus is too abrupt and obvious.
    Congrats on 2000. Takes a dedicated approach!

    Gorgeous bird, and although I would have preferred a lower angle it does work OK here. I see the same processing artifacts in the BG Shawn mentions.

    Congrats on 2000...thanks you for your participation on BPN and here's to many more posts!

    Hi Satish, congrats on your 2000, and thank you for your participation. Well exposed on this fellow, especially the blacks. Did I mention how sharp the Munia is. I have to agree that some of the BG is a bit funky, especially behind the bird.

    Beautiful image Satish - a lower angle would have been nice, but still a lovely sharp shot,
