Rose ringed parakeet

[Bhargava Srivari]

Shot this image one late morning at the Welcome Heritage resort in Ranthambhore.

canon EOS 60D, canon 300 f/2.8 L IS II USM, march'12
f4, 1/1000sec, ISO 200, EV +0.7, cropped.

Good low angle. The background has come out well. The empty space at the top acts as negative space, so reducing it would strengthen the image. It would have been great if the head would have been turned a bit to allow light on its eyes. Good to know you did some birding apart from the safari. I am sure the ability to use wide open apertures will reduce the need for photoshop. :) Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Patraji's inputs here will help me also.

Bhargava, I am going to Sanjeevaiah Park almost every morning for good birding. With my limited knowledge exposure to birding I am able to sight at least one new specie every trip. I had to skip today becoz Necklace Road was closed.

The low angle looks nice. Agree about the light on the eye. Wish it was closer. Thanks for sharing.
