Wish you, your Family and Friends “ Very Happy, Prosperous and a Great new year 2013.” Happy birding !

This pair of Parakeet was imaged on 31^st Dece, 2012.Cropped, almost 50%, hence some loss of details and sharpness.
However I like the poses and colors.

ISO: 200, 1/500@ F: 5.6.Evaluating metering.
WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation.
Kind Regards.

This has come out well Satish sir. The colors have come out well and I like the interesting perch. Since I was not very far from where you were shooting this I know that it was really sunny and it would be interesting to see an image with a diff white balance (a little cooler image) although I really like the way as it is now. Again WB is a matter of taste and its upto the photographer's taste. A very nice image to display the differences in the male and female. Also I think some more space all around would enhance the compo a bit.

I too like the colors and perch on this one. A shame to have to crop so much with some lose of feather detail.

Beautiful scene with the mature pair of Plum Heads. Great color and they posed for you well. Nice comp too. IQ noted but not that bad. Well done Satish.

I like the perch, poses, HAs, colours and composition. Nice image Satish!

Happy New Year to you and your family as well Satish. I have enjoyed your images this past year and look forward to seeing more beautiful birds of India.
I like the colors in this image. Light is a bit harsh as stated but still a pretty image.

Hi Satish, good to see the difference between the male and female with their different coloured heads. These two really pop in the frame, and one doesnt really notice the busy perch they are on.

Happy new year to you too.

I am on my iPad and these look great. Sweet colors and poses. Thank you for your kind words here on the forum and you present such nice images of your own . All the best to you for 2013.

That is a wild looking photo, Satish!
While the crop shows, I think the effect still works.
A very nice New Years card, thanks and keep them coming!
