Hi Hari,

Lovely colours. That is a beautiful bird, not had a chance to photograph it still. I think the focus is not on the bird, so it looks a bit soft. You can consider to crop a bit from the right.

Do you have any more photographs with some more eye contact?

Lovely bird. The eye is dark and is not easy to get it clear if it is in shadow. Did you use the digital zoom? One has to be careful about focussing as the focus can be locked on the branch.

Hi, Mrudul,
I will post a few more snaps i have of the Tickells, they have been nesting near my farmhouse. They are very flighty which makes it that much harder to get proper focus, but as with all wildlife, i guess we have to just wait for he right moment to get our perfect photograph.:)
Regards,
Hari
