Superb starling

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A starling up-close at Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania.
Couldn't do much about the OOF branches.

Light looks harsh but the bird is quite cool looking. The iridescent feathers are nice.

Really nice looking bird, Sanjeev and iridescence well captured. I'm less bothered by the branches as the limited depth of field. Where you do have detail, it is excellent and well processed but that makes me hanker to see it on the rest of the bird. Aside from the branches, the colours in the background are really nice and composition works for me.
