A winter visitor to our parts.
Made in my hometown Bangalore with a Canon 450D + Sigma 150-500. Handheld.
Exif : F6.3, ISO 400, SS 1/800 @ 500mm. Manual / Eval.
Levels / Crop / USM / NR on BG.
What a sweet image you have here!!! Love the light and the color palate. The environment here blends so perfectly with your bird!!! The angle on the bird is perfect and I love seeing his little toes/talons so clearly. You really nailed this one b/c you managed to make this image work with a busy environment.
Love the detail , colors and beautiful BG. Might have gotten rid of the plant in the LRC. Don't think it adds to the image as the perch and surrounding leaves give a sense of the environment.
A handsome shot, with nice environment; I love the complimentary background. Perfect head and body angles, and good detail. I can't decide about the plant on the right, but I think it does help balance the comp.
I really like the color palette, light and IQ of this image.
The perky pose of the shrike is very appealing as well.
I like your composition but it took a couple of views for me to decide about the flowers on RHS. I think I like it.
I just wish the flower didn't merge with the lower belly.
All in all, a very nice shot
Quite a beautiful image! Love the browns and greens. Nice perch, BG, comp. A couple of bits at the edges in LLC that I may eliminate, but all-in-all a very well presented image.
Very nice image. I agree about the comp. Took me a bit to decide whether I would keep the front flower, but think it does balance the image nicely. Wonderful background and pose.
Brown Shrike
