Asian Paradise Flycatcher 2

Another shot from our sighting at Sat Taal, India, 17th april 2011.

Given the length of the tail that can be seen in my previous post I doubt that any F stop would have got it in focus.

Thats a beautiful shot Ken, nice HA and BG...

[Herb Houghton]

Beautiful shot Ken, I love the colors of this bird especially the blue eye ring. The oof tail doesn't matter to me, the HA is sweet and the bird's interest is definitely there.

Ken, its always hard to follow an excellent image of this guy from your previous post. I agree, at this angle, you will battle to get the tail in full focus. I can see this as a vertical too.

wow..another stunning image..superb colors and i think even if DOF is not covering the tail..it looks like painting effect..grt one

[Dan Busby]

A very nice addition to your previous post of this species - this one shows more detail on the head. I also like the idea of a vertical.

[Sid Garige]

Very nice on your face image Ken,

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks everybody for your kind comments, much appreciated.

Stuart,

You are correct, I posted these two in the wrong order.

[Mital Patel]

excellent frame Ken,

might consider dropping of the perch from right just giveing a horizontal stick in frame if you have chance to do and not a big crop here .
