Kashmir Flycatcher.

[Satish Ranadive]

I had a very frustrating trip to Karnataka, south India, however got some good pictures.
This Kashmir flycatcher migrates from Himalaya to south and winters from Oct, to March.
Part of the perch in RUC and below removed. Bright area in the ULC is darkened. Cropped and sharpened.

ISO: 1600, 1/320, F: 5.6.Evaluating metering. Manual setting. 550D, 400mm.

Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Impressed by your use of high ISO settings with a 550D Satish, this bird is showing only slight graininess from it, but quite acceptable I think.

Nice detail showing through, colors are very nice and liking the over the shoulder look and catch light, dof handled well and smooth backdrop.

I feel it needs more space on the left and more noise reduction to the background

Nice pose and nice multicoloured background, Satisch. 1600 ISO is pretty impressive. It looks like there is no or very little noise.Nice details

Hi Satish, I know how frustrating being a nature photographer can be More variables than one can imagine. This one looks very nice and I like the exposure and the details, especially for the high ISO on that 550. The pose, colors and the HA are very nice too.
