Juggler

[Roopak Gangadharan]

Looked like this White Cheeked Barbet bit off more than it could chew.... so he juggled around and then just gulped it down.
Light was tough. a very bright Bg and the bird was in the shadows .C&C welcome

I can't think of any better composition than what you've done. The fruits add value to the frame...but then the clutter doesn't help. Is there a slight haze?

That is quite a mouthful :). You captured at the right moment. The lighting seems quite difficult. The eye contact is nice. It is good you got the bird in clear. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! One cannot believe that it could have gulped the entire thing. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice shot, Roopak. It is tough to get the right exposure for barbets, considering their habits and habitat. You seem to have done quite well. The moment captured is lovely. As Bhargava has said, there appears to be a haze(?)
