    If I'm not mistaken, this species should be a hard one to find, let alone shoot. Sharp. Good colors. I'd like a little more room on the bottom.

    Lovely feather details and lighting on the babbler. I would consider reducing some of the reflection in the eye, leaving the front gleam as the main highlight. Great capture of a small bird.

    You are right Craig it is a difficult bird to capture in open .

    Excellent sharpness, and I like the wet feathers. A little tight at the bottom of the frame.

    Nice and sharp with good feather detail. Space at the bottom mentioned - nice capture of a species I have not seen before. TFS

    Ram - I love the ruffled feather look on this interesting bird. Good capture! Nice and sharp - maybe the eye catch could be toned down a bit. Yes, a bit more room at the bottom if you have it.
