Red Whiskered Bulbul

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Returned after a business trip and was in Lucknow for a couple of days where I noticed quite a bit of birding activity. Clicked this image from the roof top of my house in Lucknow. Unfortunately there's a lot of concrete around hence the bg distractions. Lots of bulbuls were around and this guy was busy eating the spider from its web below. Cropped to avoid some wires and structures.

Nice image. Nice that you got the details in the web as well. Would have been better without the urban setting, but you couldn't do much about that. You could try a bit of noise reduction here, but it may destroy some details...

Nice & clean capture. Bit more brightness will further help in opening details in black crest IMO. spider web looks nice. Thaks for sharing.

Nice one Murugan. Like the colours here. Agre it looks a bit grainy for ISO 400.

Nice to see it with a catch. Its good you included the web as well. Agree with the above comments. Thanks for sharing.

The inclusion of the web tells the story better. The eye contact is nice. I guess this is a large crop and hence the noise. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
