Perfect BG and pose. On my work monitor it appears a little too sharp. But still wonderful! :)

[RakeshDhareshwar]

Love the image, Clement . This one looks like studio shot !!! ;)

[Rohan Kamath]

beautiful exposure with a nice BG...Nice to see the head and tail in clear focus...
Even thought photographically there is nothing wrong with the perch, i just hate that weed lantana which is slowly destroying a lot of our forest and cultivable land.

-Cheers,
Rohan

Hi Clement: Another pro shot of a really special little bird as far as I'm concerned. I love shrikes! The perch looks great and you really handled the dark on dark with they eye well. Homogeneous bokeh always helps as well. Good one!

[Stu Bowie]

Excellent IQ Clement, and I like the comp. Overall, nice and sharp.
