The red eye looks nice. The low angle and the pose is nice. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Lovely Image. Crisp details.

[Bhargava Srivari]

This is good! Nice details and the eye looks great. Any particular reason for giving a positive EC?

By the way, how is Mangaljodi this season in terms of numbers of species?

Hi Bhargava,
The rationale behind the positive EC was to expose the blacks right. I knew the whites would over expose a little bit but i could tone them down. Pulling up the underexposed blacks however would have resulted in additional noise.

The Total species count (Resident+Migratory) has been 221 as per the records of the Forest Dept and Mahabir Pakshi Suraksha Samiti that is run by Wild Orissa.

Nice image. I love the red eye. I may visit mangalajodi next month.

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Very beautiful. Nicely exposed and composed.
