    Model = Canon EOS-1D Mark III
    Lens = Canon 600 mm f4 IS

    This is a beauty which was quite common around the lodges I stayed in Pangot . But getting it in the open on a trail was very special .

    Rakesh:

    My first thought on opening the image was, tone down the white perch (as Ram observed also)

    I would accomplish this by a combination of lowering the luminosity of it, and cropping a bit from the bottom, and a moderate crop from the right.

    The bird itself looks good, with adequate DOF, and pretty sharp for these settings.

    Not a lot of light for you to work with.

    cheers

    Hi Rakesh , I like the pose of this little guy. Colours, detail and exposure on the bird are realy good. Cropping suggestions would help with the brightness of the perch.

    Wonderful looking bird, i agree with the other on making the perch less dominate in the frame
