Indian Roller.

[Satish Ranadive]

ISO :400, 1/640,@5.6. Manual. 550D,100-400.
Thin perch coming through head on the top has been removed.NR applied to BG. Cropped for composition.
After 10 days of my presence in his territory, he allowed me to come very close to him and also quite curious about what I am doing.
I hope you will like it.

Thanks for viewing ,appreciation, comments and critiques.
Kind Regards.
Satish.

Fantastic image Satish. I love the colours throughout the image. The feather details are very nice as is the sharpness. Great colours of blue/green on the head. Good work
