Brahminy Starling in a Cloudy Day
Dear All,
Made this image of Brahminy Starling in Bangalore (India) last week. Day was very dull, hence bumped up the ISO. I have cloned out few distracting twigs from the Image. Your C&C are most welcome.
Gear : Canon 500 f/4 +1.4E on 1D MK III. Hand held
ISO 640, F/5.6, -2/3 EV, 1/1200 shutter speed
Best Regards,
Subbu

Superbly beautiful species Subbu and a loverly BKGR. If it were mine I would eliminate the stick protruding behind the perch. And superbly sharp.

Thanks for your good words Artie, here comes the repost. Please let me know if this looks any better..

The image looks better but only 1,000 times. Your work on the JPEG looks as if it were a tiny bit sloppy judging by the edge of the branch. Do you know Protect and Defend Cloning?

What a nice bird and well captured, sharp and good defenition in the yellows I also prefer it without the oof branch. Never seen this species before. Thanks for sharing.
I like the pose, perch and details of this beautiful bird. I like the OOF branch removed as well. Nice job!
For some reason I prefered this with the branch there - I thought it balanced nicely with your subject (I do like it without too and surely would not have wanted a branch added if I would have seen the new version first!). Superb looking bird - I love the plumage transition between the neck and breast!!
Thanks a lot for all your comments. Artie, I did not knew about this method. Great Article you have on http://www.birdsasart.com/bn275.htm. Thanks again for this.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris

Beautiful image & very well captured. It is sharp with a great BG. I too prefer the OP. With the OOF branch removed it appears artificial & contrived to my eye.

for sure subbbu this is truly and awesome image .. i find that branch with original post better like daniel said as it gives a counter balance act for me. but thats my personal choice :)
Lovely Compo Subbu like the original image without the cloning of branch as it has a beauty of its own
You do not get much better than this
