    Dear All,

    Made this image in a cloudy day in Bangalore. Shot from Vehicle with Bean bag support.

    Gear : Canon 1D Mark III & Canon EF 500 f/4 + 1.4E
    EXIF : | Aperture Priority | f/5.6 | 1/800 | ISO-800 | -2/3 EV |

    Comments and Suggestions to improve the image are most welcome.

    Best Regards,
    Subbu

    Would love to see as a vertical comp, showing more of the seed heads and a better HA on the bird. Nice attempt! Well done. :)

    Ah that head angle! I like the colors very much here though, great BG,
    and agree with Akos about the comp.

    Nice colors and perch. HA will get called out... another alternative would be to go for pano crop as if the bird looking into infinity.

    Thanks all for your comments. Yes, I think should have waited for a better HA. Will try to improvise the shot next time.


    Akos here is the Vertical Crop. Please see if this looks any better.

    Hi Subramanya nice image. I prefer the vertical crop. I like the grass stem with seeds, background and singing pose would have been nice to have the head turned more towards the camera.

    Hi Subramanya, the HA could be improved, but I'd imagine this species of prinia is fairly common out your way, as they're common in China; so an opportunity to shoot it again could be coming soon. You may wish to try a vertical crop with the bird to the right looking into a deeper left-hand portion.

    Thanks Subbu, personally, I like the look of the #6 although there could be other variation as Pieter and Craig suggested.
