    A typical bird on the stick image of this winter visitor to India. Made with Canon 450D + Sigma 150-500. Beanbag on car window
    F 6.3, ISO 400, SS 1/160 @ 500mm. Manual / Eval / Almost full frame. USM & NR on BG
    Decided to retain the color cast of the early morning light.

    Comments & Critiques most welcome.

    Hi Girish, sweet light, and a sweet pose. The colours look fine for the early morning, and overall nice and sharp for such a slow ss. Killer BG too.

    Girish,

    Nothing typical for me. Great decision on keeping the early morning light.

    Looks like you were able to get fairly close to this guy. Job well done!

    A real stunner. The setting matches your bird perfectly. Lovely details and colors. This image might look even better as a vertical if you have the canvas.
