[Bibhav Behera]

Nice moment captured...
Wish there wern't much noise...

[Kiran Ghadge]

@Chitrita : Sure, I have lots of shot of this guy, will post full profile shot soon.....

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I always try to get lower noise. However, if there is a choice between no shot and noise, then I will choose noise. These high ISO capabilities are redefining photography.

I like the eyes and the expression. Surprisingly clean perch. May be some more space at the top and the left side would have been good. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Lovely expressions captured. Liked the perch and the colours. Agree with Sabyasachi about a bit more space on the right.

Look forward to more..
