Wedge Tailed Green Pigeon

[Murugan Anantharaman]

This is an image I made in Guptkashi, Uttarakhand last year in June. I was trying to get the bird out in the open and it was in no mood to oblige. I really liked the blue ring in its eye, hence focused on the head of the bird. Guptkashi is at the base of Kedarnath mountains and we had camped there to visit the shrine.

The eye ring has come out well. The fluorescent coloured blue is striking. It is good that you got the eye in the clear. Hoping to visit Kedarnath next year. This year got washed out. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Loved the eyes. The eye ring and the blue beak look as if it has played with colours :). Good details. Thanks for sharing.
