    Default Blue Throated Barbet

    Rains or overcast conditions make some pictures pleasing, the saturation we get are lovely,
    This one is such image made a week back just after the rains , it was still over cast however i got the chance to come out and shoot between 2 spells of rains :)


    5D MIII + 400 F2.8 + 2x TC MIII

    Killer looking bird and super image as well. Love seeing the food and the inclusion of the perch from where the food originated. The colors of this bird are spectacular and your details just as good.

    What a fantastic perch you got here!! Spectacular colours, BG looks good, and the food gathered in the bill is a nice bonus. Some may ask for the removal of the extra branch at bottom, but there is enough of it showing that I am fine with it.

    Hi Vishal, one of the barbet family I havent seen before. Amazing colours, and yes, well exposed in the softer light. Must have been very hungry to have such a full beak full of food.

    Very nice Vishal. Awesome colors and detail in this beautiful bird. New to me too. The perch, pose and food in the beak make for a real winner. One of your best for me!! Well done!

    I agree with every compliment offered. Sweet image! Love the light quality and am impressed with the sharp details captured at the stated shutter speed. One very TINY thing to consider, would be to get rid of the smidge of plant coming up into the frame at the bottom about two inches to the right of the perch....

    Super capture with beautiful colors and detail. I would prefer to see this image a bit tighter.
