Pl read the focal length as 500, I did not use TC for this.

Eye contact is fine. I agree that a natural perch would have been good. More than the natural perch, it is the out of focus wire which takes away a lot of impact from this image. Without that, this image would have looked much better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Sharp image. The details are nice. It is sad that these days we get all the birds perched on wires more than trees. You are making good use of the bean bag :). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mrudul, I got the Skimmer sack from US, filled it with 9-10 kgs of rice:laugh:. It is quite useful especially while shooting from the vehicle. I guess Sabyasachi too has similar one.
