    Another difficult jungle bird to find in the open was lucky enough to get this bird so close and in the open . Will upload the better version in the next threads.

    Sweet image and pose. I would be tempted to blur the BG a bit.

    Lovely details on the flycatcher. I like how the bkgd colors work so nicely with the bird, but I'm be tempted to mute them a bit.

    Good sharpness and alert pose on the bird. The background is bothersome, put I understand about some birds that just won't come out of the junk.

    Hi Ram, lovely image of this bird which is very much like our African Paradise Flycatcher. I prefer the original BG but would tone down the highlights as suggested.

    Not an easy bird to shoot. I know; we have Asian paradise flycatchers over here. I applaud you. ramesh may be getting somewhere with his repost, but I think the image requires a bit more refining. Certainly I like the greater sharpness of the bird in ramesh's repost.
