To be or not to be......

[Satish Ranadive]

Image of this Copper Smith Barbet (juvenile) was captured today morning. Angle is a bit steep, but I like the expression, hence thought to share it.
Setting was for Golden Oriole, BIF shot, kept as it is for his expression, to be or not be. Basic editing. Cropped for composition.

ISO :400, 1/4000,@ 5.6. Exposure Bias -0.7. Aperture priority. 550D,100-400.

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

Nice looking bird Satish and you have captured him/her well. Nice feather details on the bird and I really like how the colours on the bird blend with the whole image. Beautiful perch, the fruits look good enough to eat Thanks for sharing

Lovely shot Satish excellent details. I like it as presented but I am not sure if I would experiment a little - maybe overall exposure increase a tad and possibly de-saturate the sky somewhat.
