Blue capped Rock Thrush | Goa

[RakeshDhareshwar]

Got to sight a lot of these beauties on my last trip to Goa . This is a young fella just getting his colours . The healthy adults have much better colouration . Loved the BG with nature's 'paint brush' effect .

Camera : Canon 1D MK III
Lens : Canon 600mm f4 IS
Aperture : f8

Speed : ISO 1250

Cheers,

Very pleasant and appealing image.
It is painterly and a very attractive bird.

Hi Rakesh, I do like the colours on the thrush, blues and oranges always go well together. He has posed nicely for you against a cool BG. It looks like you were struggling for light, so Im not sure a tighter crop will help. Having said that, I feel you can take quite a bit off the top. Cheers.

Stunning bird, nice colours and BG. I feel bird is a bit small in the frame.

Excellent image with a very pleasing bg

Hi Rakesh,
Is this a big crop? The IQ seems a bit off to me. I agree that the BG is lovely, as is the bird,

@ Gail : This is around 85% of the original frame .
