Real close :). Good details in the eyes. Was it on the ground? How were the sightings in Thattekad? Thanks for sharing.

[Jitendra Katre]

Thanks Mrudul. No, this beauty was not on the ground, and it was not super close too. It is a heavy crop from 50 mp file of 5Ds.
Sighting was very good. However I couldn't find Baza and Loris because of short stay.

Beautiful. I have seen the first time in my life. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing details captured, loved the lighting too. Hats off to you sir !

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Lovely details. Can we see a wider crop? I feel the tight crop draws attention to the out-of-focus parts. I guess you did not want to sacrifice shutterspeed for a narrower aperture.

This picture reminds me of Kaa from jungle book- trust in me :blink: ..... :) Nice picture of the frogmouth, agree with Abhishek if you can share a non-cropped version it would be good too. Thanks for sharing.

[Jitendra Katre]

Thanks friends for appreciation. I will definitely post uncropped version sometime soon.

I agree with Abhishek and Mrudul. I would love to see an uncropped version. A narrow aperture would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
