    Default Long Tailed Shrike

    This fella was busy searching for his food. He sat close to me on this stick and did allow me to take some good shots. Shot this long back in India.

    Great pose and excellent sharpness. The BG compliments the bird nicely. I might add a bit of canvas to the top and bottom of the frame. I haven't seen this bird before, but I keep thinking that a slight contrast boost would help.

    Excellent pose, perch and bg. Agree with Doug about adding canvas top and bottom.
    Very nice image!

    Nice bird and sweet BKGR. Yes to more room top and bottom. A bit less head turn would have been great. The head and back look a tad over-sharpened to me. All in all very nice.
