Brilliant capture considering the size of this little KF. Good work there
Another great one of the series... This bird is really amazing.
everything is so perfect.. too good bhai.
badhiya hai... fantastic
Beautiful one Harshad Bhai, loved the colours, HA and BG.. congrats..
Harshad I really like your picture - such a pretty bird and your photograph does it justice - sharp, clean background, good colours and an awesome lively eye.
Harshad, Color, comp. and exposure all look great! Beautiful details. Very well done.
Harshad, this is beautiful.What colors and the rarity of the bird, makes this a top-notch image for me.
for me this is the best of the series even though its w/o a catch...everything's perfect about it... congrats sir...
Best of series for me too - and the rest were of the highest standard! Details are incredible for that shutter speed.
nice looking bird with a beautiful pose,colors,details!
If I had an image like this in the viewfinder, I'd sure hope I could pull it off this well. Great sharpness, BG, perch, etc. Thx for sharing a fine image.
Found it! (bottom of the page Harshad, :). long way down here). Cool shot. Coffee table book! outstanding work!
Stunning image Harshad! The color is simply amazing! Pose and sharpness are both perfect.

Congratulations, Magnificent ! The angle of the face and the expresion, and overall quality Great.
WOW, it's all been said in the other posts. I'd be honored to have a copy of this on my wall.
I dont know how I missed this. Fantastic image. Excellent details and pose. Colors are unbelivable. Brilliant job Harshad.
Looks like you like to live dangerosly :). I wolud never shoot a bird at 1/20 of sec. :)Originally Posted by Harshad Barve
Do not understand this Sid ( Poor English)
Bird is very shy and offers very very few chances , So I have to accept him even at 1/10 :)

Harshad,
My apologies...
" I like to live dangerously" is a famous quote from film charecter Austin Powers. It is often used if someone is taking a very big chance.
At 1/20 of a sec even though the birds is sitting stand still there might be a chance of wind hitting the ruffed up feathers on the head and make image look little soft. I would have kicked up ISO to 800 to gain some shutter speed to be on the safe side.
Also, I completely agree with you on good image quality at ISO 200 compared to ISO 800.

Sid ,
I should say sorry , I could not get you
I made some images at 800 ISO but that has noise , very difficult to remove noise from subject , atleast for me
so made some images at 400, 200, 100,
at 100 it was a trash, But I found this good enough to present,
I have made this after creating some good shots at higher ISO's
I have 20+ images at 200 ISO , only 3 or 4 are keepers
Some times " I like to live dangerously"
Thanks a ton for famous quote
Looks like it paid off....:)
Can I have one?
Lovely bird and image. Amazingly sharp for 1/20! I only wish the shooting angle were not so steep.
