Indian Courser

[Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi]

Canon 1D Mark III with Canon 500 f/4

Exif: 1/3200, f/4, Evaluative Metering, Aperture Priority, ISO 400, EC 0

Vertical crop from a FF horizontal. No NR applied, selectively sharpened the bird and gave some saturation boost. USM at 100/0.4/0.

The sun was a bit high on the horizon, but the bird posed nicely and the BG was good. Just wished the feet were visible, but wasn't possible in the grass.

Beautifully Done .. The tight crop is alright with me and the BG is like butter

[Fabs Forns]

Sweet BG, very nice subject, well exposed, well placed in the frame, just a bitmore head turn for me. TFS :)

[Rich Ikerd]

Really like this Pranay! The background, lighting and sharpness are all top notch. The "missing" feet do not detract from the image at all.

[Brian Barcelos]

This is great and a beautiful species I've never seen before. I don't mind the missing feet as I too prefer a lower angle when at all possible. Colors look great and wonderful BG. I'm with Fabs on the head angle. Congrats

Very nice bird. Love the BG , exposure and colors. Wish for more head turn. Congratulations.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I would hope for just a fraction more head turn in your direction too. Otherwise a fine image, nice crop and excellent BG. Thanks for sharing. :)

Lovely image - I like the pose, detail and uniform background.

[Loukie Viljoen]

Well done love the BG and exp, pity the eye is black and had to be positioned in a black streak

[Dave Barnes]

Hi Doc.
Superb detail captured in good light. Bg works well and I like the colours. The bird feels just a bit central in the frame to me.

[Kiran Poonacha]

its a beauty Dr. hope to make a image of this beauty, someday. loved the pose, the expo, the BG and details, I personally feel it needs one round of sharpening. Congrats...
