black-headed Munia.

[Satish Ranadive]

Image of this Munia aka Tri-colour Munia was created today morning.

Basic editing. Cropped for composition. NR applied to BG. BG is almost ready crop field. Mild NR was selectively applied to head also.

ISO: 400, 1/1000 @5.6. Spot metering. Manual settings.
Canon 550D 100-400 mm.

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

Very nice indeed, good colour tones and fine detail throughout.

Perfect feather detail which also shows nicely in the blacks, you must be very pleased with this,it know I would be.

Beautiful image of a great looking bird, Satish. BG and perch work very nicely.

All looks good Satish.Perfect pose and HA. Nice details in the munia.Lovely color palette.
You have a bit of posterization in the LLC that can easily be rectified by applying a bit of gaussian blur. This posterization seems to occur when going from a TIFF to JPEG. Not sure why?I get it with dark green BG's sometimes.

What a nice image. Love how the bird is looking at you and is perfectly set up by the complimentary background. Good work!
