Verditer Flycatcher

[Girish Prahalad]

One of our colorful flycatcher species usually found in well wooded areas.
This was made in the Western Ghats with a Canon 550D (Borrowed) + Sigma 150-500 on a beanbag placed on top of a tripod.
Exif : F6.3 / ISO 800 / SS 1/60 @ 500mm. Manual / Eval
Cropped from horizontal / levels / USM & NR on BG. The reflection on the belly is from the water below.

Comments & critiques most welcome.

Lovely bird, nice pose and gorgeous background. I find the reflection a little distracting from an otherwise handsome shot.

superb shot, loved everything except that the reflection is too bright you could selectively darken it a bit for a better image :)

[Alan Murphy]

I agree that the reflection takes from a very nice image.

Beautiful portrait, great details and eye contact.

Agree with above ...the perch appears sawn at the end. Detail , colour and background are superb.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Too bad about the reflection on the plumage as otherwise you have a very nice image with good colours, BG, pose, comp.
