Image was created in the last week.Basic editing. Cropped for composition. NR applied to BG.
I should have removed second tiny lower catch light.

ISO: 400, 1/1000 @6.3. Manual settings.
550D, 100-400 mm.

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

While it's not the "perfect" HA, I still like it, as the KF is doing its own thing.
Would be killer with eye contact Satish!
The perch is great, as the end is weathered away well enough so it does not
appear to be freshly broken.
Wonderful colours and BG.
A pleasing image.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Satish, lovely colours on this species of KF, and nice and sharp too. I do like the curved perch, and thats a nice smooth OOF BG. HA mentioned.

Hi Satish
Thats a nice shot! HA mentioned but doesn't bother me too much.
Great Colours
Cheers

PS Hows the pool coming ?

You sure are getting some nice KF shots lately. Besides the HA, which I don't mind that much, this one looks great. The perch, colors, details and BG all look fantastic. Well done

[Jonathan Ashton]

beautiful shot Satish - love it!

I would crop so the end of the perch is not shown.
Excellent back side view.

Excellent shot, Satish. I like the curved perch as shown, but I think it would look better if it extended to the edge of the frame.

[Satish Ranadive]

Thanks a lot for the comments. Karl. Point noted about crop.

Regards,
Satish.

Beautiful light, bird, BG and pose, Satish. Somehow I don't mind the HA at all.
Good point above re. cropping for the perch. Lovely work sir!
