Grey francolin

[Bhargava Srivari]

Shot at shamirpet in august'11.

We had dashed to our car when it started raining, and drove a little further, and a group of these birds paid us a surprise visit. Shot from a car, just after a heavy shower.

Loved the pose. I feel EC +0.3 would have been better. TFS

Nice you got it in the open. This is one species I have not able to get a decent photograph still :(. I think there is a slight movement, some more sharpness would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

The eye contact is good. What are the white things near its feet? I agree that some more sharpness would have been better. Why ISO 250? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
