Crested Lark.

[Satish Ranadive]

This Lark was captured late in the morning while taking a nap, few days back. Cropped for composition and sharpened.

ISO: 200, 1/1000 @ F: 5.6.
WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

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

It's nice to see an unusual composition.
The soft background helps bring out the fine texture of the rock and bird. The cool background colors are a nice contrast to the warm colors of the bird.
I wonder if enhancing one of the minor colors might add more visual interest. For example, you might increase the red in the feet.

Very nice PANO of the bird. Although the bird overall is placed well in the left third of the frame, it would be more to my liking if the eye of the bird were at that point.

I like your composition along with the nice look-back pose Satish. Perhaps a bit of additional sharpening to the head.

[Holger Leyrer]

The pose is great and the colours works well. But i agree with Doug. A bit more sharpening to the head
