Malabar Trogon Male # 2

[RAM MALLYA]

Another pose of this ghost of the jungles which is difficult to photograph . There is a OOF twig in the foreground lower left corner which has made the image look soft .

this specie has great colors, very handsome indeed. looks like some leaves were blocking the tail and I find the shooting angle a bit too steep. TFS

Lovely bird , Ram . But the IQ here is not top notch . Slightly noisy on my monitor and I wish you had gotten a better angle . But with these phantoms , any shot is worth it .

[Tom Rambaut]

With some species you just have to be happy to have got an image at all. Agree with comments about steep shooting angle amd OOF leaves at front. RAm is this a species were you could try a set up of some sort - perch in the clear etc?

[Mital Patel]

Would be totally agree with Rakesh Bhai Ram.

Like what you said Tom. Indeed sometimes we just have to be happy to have an something than nothing.

expressing expectations always good and force friends to do more to show BTW.

Beautiful bird, and a logical vertical comp, and I like the detail on the dizzying plumage of the wing. Nice forest feel to the BG. Agree with the steep angle and too bad about the FG leaves in the lower left corner.
