Amazing shot! Great detail and habitat, this must be a rare sighting?

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Nice one. Wish the leaf at the bottom was not there. Why not a higher ISO and a narrow aperture to get more depth of field? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice sighting. Quite difficult to spot. The low angle adds to the composition. Thanks for sharing.

This is really good, these guys are hard to spot and are camouflaged really well. They are usually found on the ground/fallen tree trunks specially with their eyes closed during the days. This guy reminded me of the Syke's nightjar that i had clicked in kutch last year.
