Pied Kingfisher's

[Mrudul Godbole]

Photographed this at Ranganathittu some months back from a boat.

Canon 50D, 100-400mm L IS USM, ISO 200, f7.1, 1/640, hand held.

comments and critiques welcome..

Good shot. Nice compo and pose. Tough to shoot these against the sky i guess. Do you think a +1ve Ec might have worked better???

Wow! Nice image Mrudul, good to see the couple in one frame. Wish you had got some catch light. The other I missed out on shooting the couple, however I sighted them on several occasion.

Lovely placement of these kingfishers. I am wondering how the vertical close crop would have looked. That would eliminate voids and get the emphasize on birds and their interesting placement. TFS.

nice image. i would try opening up the blacks a bit more. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see two of them together. It is not easy to compose two animals/birds together, as invariably they look in different directions.

I am not sure if a closer approach would have been possible. Though the boatman had once taken me too close. A vertical with a close approach would have been good.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
