Nice perch. The berries display its habitat nicely. An off-centred composition would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bird. It would have been great if you could have used a narrow aperture like f8 or more. Reducing the colour temperature during post processing will be good. Where and when was this photographed?

Thanks.Bird was under shades of tree leaves & light was not good as it was from the side.With widest aperture at ISO 400,I could get only 1/400 which is the minimum requirment for a handheld shot at 300mm in a non IS lens. It was shot at my native place Nagaon,Assam this month.
