Asian-Paradise Flycatcher, a different background

[Sadananda Koppalkar]

Really had to wait for a long time with out any movements to get this bird wide open and near to me..Since background is bright, I had to over expose to get the details on bird.

Nice image of the paradise flycatcher. The details in the bird look good, but as you said its on the brighter side. Maybe you could have reduced the ISO also, not sure though.

Beautifully done. I like the colours in the background. The head angle is nice. I would crop just a sliver from the right to remove the bit of branch above the perch.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to every one for critics and comments:)

@Prasad: This is taken near Panhala.
@ Bibhav: Thanks for that observation, certainly the compo will be better with your suggestion.
