Dear all
Made this with D300, 600mm, ISO 200, F5.6, Aparture priority , 1/40 secs and tripod
BG smoothen by learning tip from Arthur's bulletin http://www.birdsasart.com/bn294.htm

Let me know how it looks

Fine shot Harshad. tack sharp for that combo! Good head angle and feather details Harshad.

It does look fine, Harshad. The HA is indeed good, but I would have prefered it to be great (a few degrees more towards us). The blur processing looks excellent, and the vertical comp is the right choice here. I'm noticing lately that you like to stick to ISO 200 even with very low shutter speeds...any particular reason why you do not bump it up more?

May be a mental block , but I love that 200

[Chris Kotze]

Lovely pose detail and super colours

Harshad, I like the light, and you have exposed those greens really well. Pin sharp, and you nailed the BG. Great image.

Beautifully captured Harshad and great BG to set this beauty off. Outstanding detail and lighting. Love this one Harshad !!!

[Marc Mol]

As others have said, great color, exp and BG, VWD Harshad.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Great looking species Harshad!

Love the compo and blurred BG, that tip must be a good one. The HA is not ideal but still I wish I had this one on my files. Thanks for sharing.

Great bird and excellent colors, I like the color composition with a dominant green.
Just a bit of more eye contact would be great, but excellent as presented too.

[Dave Barnes]

I like the colours, exposure and feather detail Harshad.
I would like to see the bird a bit lower in the frame with a bit more space above. (Personal preference)

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Lovely pose and like the colors. :) I wish the light was low and late in the day for that super warm glow I envisage for this. Since you blurred the BG it would be good to see how it differs from the original image. :)
