Indian Robin

[subramanya_ck]

Indian Robin is one of the most commonly found birds in subcontinent. This bird rarely gets disturbed by human presence.

I made this image last week in a cloudy day in Bangalore.

Gear : Canon40D, Canon EF 500 f/4+1.4E
EXIF : ISO500, f/6.3, Aperture Priority, Evaluative Metering, -1/3 exposure compensation
PP : removed few twigs in PS.

Thanks for looking. Comments & Suggestions are most welcome

excellent image subbu. expo is just bang on with the provided condition of weather. wish that oof stick was not coming in over the bird.

Ditto about the stick crossing the bird.
Love the BG and singing pose. Saliva is a plus.

I gave it try in PS, just an option.

Detail of the head is superb, including that little string of saliva. As well as the stick, I wonder if a little more space below (equal with the space above the head) might help improve an already excellent image.

Very nice details. I like the "from behind" shooting angle. gives an impression that the bird is not aware of you. Exposure is bang on target. I would like more room on top actually :-)

This is a wonderful image. Love the perch and the birds angle with the red rear visible. I prefer the oof twig removed as per Juans re post. Congrats

Juan Carlos mi amigo you Photoshop whiz brother! I love your repost. Such wonderful improvement. Beautiful BG and pose, not the best angle on the bird and a little tight! Keep at it bhai and you will get perfection!
