    Default Curious Juvenile: White-throated Fantail Flycatcher.

    Last four years I am seeing the pair of flycatcher in my garden and every year they have one or two babies.
    This time I got opportunity to photograph this sweet little one. Brightness of the perch is reduced. Image was created in the last week.

    ISO: 1600, 1/400 @ F: 7.1. Exposure bias: +0.07.
    WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

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

    Hi Satish, you have captured a nice inquisitive pose here, together with the slightly outstretched wing. Good eye level perspective, and overall well exposed on the darker plumage. If this were mine, I would move him back to the right a bit.

    Supersweet bird and pose, Satish. I could see the bird moved a bit to the right too. I really like the strip of green behind. Good soft light and details. More depth of field might have been nice so that tail would have been sharp, but looks like you were pushing it as it was, with your settings.

    Hes a cutie. The awkward foot position and curious expression tells a story of a young one to me.

    Very nice pose and detail is captured well. I also like the position of the feet and the look the bird is showing. Everything comes together to indicate this is a juvenile and it's precious. Also agree with the comp suggestion to move bird to the right slightly. Might also help to reduce the dark patch in the upper RHC...

    Nice look at this little one Satish. Good job with the techs and the feather detail. I like the pose, HA and the little crest, one feather, on its head. Well done
