Good to know you could get closer. The preening pose is nice. Good eye contact. The light seems a bit harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one Atul. I like the composition and the eye contact. The depth of field is fine. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ! yeah, the light was bit harsh. It was around 10.40 and I was on my way back, when I just decided to put in a bit extra, sit there in the bushes and wait for an opportunity. It was well worth it.
