Oriental-magpie robin
While moving in the Keoladeo Bird sanctuary in Bharatpur, India with my Canon EOS 1DIII and a 500mm f4 with the 2xTC this robin came and set very close on a tree trunk. There was not enough time to change lens and as the robin was just about at the minimum focusing distance I made this image. It is a bit tight in the frame for my liking but I did not get a chance to take another image without the TC. But still I like the image and thought of sharing it here for your comments.
ISO 200, f8, 1/60s
Great looking bird. A little opening up of the darker areas with the shadow highlight tool would help this one a bit. Good and sharp.
Oh, I love this image so much that I QMed the bird some more room. Incredible detail, colors, and especially sharpness.
later and love and keep the life birds coming! artie
