The image is created at Coorg on 20th April'10 @ 7:39am. Since the resort is located on a hill-top and the weather was misty, the sun was playing hide and seek. I clicked this when I had some sunshine for few minutes. I wish I had quickly changed to f8:sad:

Camera Model Canon EOS 40D, 100-400mm
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/2000
Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6
ISO 400
Focal length 250mm

Nice catch light in the eye. Agree F8 would have been better. Wish the vertical branch was not present. Was it possible for you move more to the right to avoid it? Some more space at the bottom and left would enhance the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

I agree f8 would have given much better depth of field and would have resulted in a shutter speed of 1/1000, good enough for sharpness.

I agree that it would have been great without that vertical branch being in between the subject and you. Background is clean and helps in the image popping up. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice details. Wish the branch were absent. Agree that the image looks tight towards the left and bottom.
