Would have preferred a clearer shot. There is also a lot of noise in the image.

You can try the Bhandarpani road in the mornings, there seems to be a flock or flocks regularly, just before the Sitavani gate.

Hi Apana - thanks for the comments. The noise is because of a digital watermark (Digimarc) that I insert on my image to protect them against any usage in the online world. I would be sending u the original image separately

Sitabani is also a great spot for the Great indian hornbill... have captured many in the past in that belt.

I wonder what would be the use of small sized low resolution jpegs. There are other watermarking sofwares that don't destroy the image qualities.

Your image is beyond the size specifications. Image size needs to be less than 200kb and longest side max 800 pixels.

You need to upload the image using the attachment button. Else, the thumbnail doesn't get generated. Pl refer to attachment for further clarity.

Cheers,

Thanks Sabya...
Would be careful in uploading pics in the future...
Just an update on Digimarc (am sure u have heard abt this) - its a tool for inserting digital watermarks on ur pictures. The tool also gives u periodic updates on websites and portals that are using the pictures without ur consent and is effective tool for in plagiarism cases.

Shivang,
I am aware about watermarking and the softwares. I was commenting about the image quality being lost due to watermarking. I had't heard of that before.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

A beautiful bird. I agree that the noise is a bit of a bother here. The angle of shooting is steep. A flatter angle would have been better. Thanks for sharing.
