Black Hooded Oriole!!

[Murugan Anantharaman]

This is the second of the 2 black hooded orioles observed at Karnala. The light really played hide and seek and that can be seen in this image clearly. This is more of a record shot.

Nikon D3100, F/5.6, exposure 1/200, ISO 3200, focal length 300mm. cropped image.

Nice for a record shot. Looks like the light was really cruel. How big a crop is this? It looks a bit too tight to me. Did you dial any positive EC?

Good to see this beautiful bird in its habitat.How nice had it been with some light rays falling on the eyes.Because of black hood and the shy bird preferring to perch admist the canopy of green leaves,eye contact becomes difficult.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Agree with the above comments. Slight more space on the left than on the right would have been good. Nice sighting. Thanks for sharing.
