nice sharp image. i wish for better lower angle and to my personal choice i would not like that harsh shadow.
if u could have gone lower angled you may have got the best clean bg and reduced that shadow too.

very good specimen btw.

Mital bhai as took the shot from the car i could not go any lower

[Jonathan Ashton]

Beautifully sharp and nice differential focus, a lower angle as mentioned would have been nice .......but we can't always have nice can we?;)

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree with Mital's critique. Although not much could be done for a lower angle from inside the car, all it takes sometimes is a pishing or squeaking noise from your mouth to get the bird to look your way for a better HA. Good colours, and I like the surroundings...very nice.

Hi Ram

Better head angle would have made this a great shot. This can be easily done by making the bird turn its head, as Daniel has described above. I am not sure whether you had any time for that.
