    Excellent sharpness and detail, the perch although quite large goes very well here,
    great texture on the perch too. The BG is quite good too.
    I wish the bird turned a bit more toward the camera and made eye contact,
    still it is very nice image, I like it!

    Of course not. Do you have a bird book of the birds of India? well, if you don't then you should buy one since it is very important to learn a little bit of the species we photograph, in my case, if I upload a picture of an endemic or very elusive bird then I will let people know about it since this adds more to the image, I believe. Please take this just as a suggestion.

    Love this bird, the colors, HA and and sharpness. Please keep them coming.

    Your species appear slightly different from those here in Malaysia. Would that be a Juvenile male, just to confirm the species then - zoothera critina.

    Lovely BG and only wish the head turn was a little more towards you.

    Hi Juan

    I have the book and I just loves to study behaviour of birds :D

    I raised question because there are lot of species found all over world like Bee eaters may be in diffrent colors. This is not so rare bird but elusive one.

    Thanks for stopping by

    Bee eaters?
    I guess we have nothing like bee eaters in America, in fact, I guess the most similar bird to a bee eater is a Motmot. One question, how many bird species do you guys have in India? I can imaging you must have A LOT.

    If I am not wrong we have 1295 species with so many sub-species, Life is so short to see them, I have not even seen 300. Most importantly so much work going on in Arunachal Pardesh ( Specially NE India) to find new ones. Recently one species found called Bugun Liocichla
    If you are intersted in Indian birds pl visit www.kolkatabirds.com

    Hope to see more of them.:)

    Harshad, super pose, showing excellent feather detail. This is sharp, and I like the light in this too. Cool perch, and a great OOF BG. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the LHS.

    Lovely image, Harshad. Typical thrush pose and lovely light, perch and BG. Your DOF has covered the bird well and reveals lovely detail in the plumage.
