I have been chasing this little bird around for months. Whenever we decided to go somewhere i made sure that there was a malachite in the area. These little guys just refused to give me a decent shot, they always stayed out of range teasing me.
Well finally after many months and frustrating hours i finally got some decent shots.
I am not sure about the BG, bit too busy with a bit too many light spots. I have others of this little guy with a nice clean bg (over water) but somehow the colours here just make me like this one more.
Comments and suggestions always appreciated.
EXIF :
f8
1/400
ISO 200
Av mode
Tripod mounted
EV +.3
Focal length 400mm
colours and details are gorgeous = would try and lighten the eye area a little, BG is a little distracting but it is what it is - might just try and tone down some of the brighter spots.
Keep them coming :)
Just tone down the bg a bit, will be fine. Would have like if the one leaf was not intercepting the beak but probably no time for a moving. Gorgeous bird !!!
Hi Andre,
Congratulations on a very fine capture...The bird is beautiful, The color rendition is super, followed by fine details, agree with Mr. Peters and Mr. Forns on the techs...well done Sir. Looking forward to more...:cool:
Nice shot Andre. I too agree with Lance and Alfred's assessment. Great pose and details. The colors of the BG complement the kingfisher very well. Good job!
