Indian Roller

Photographed this at Hasserghatta, Bangalore. Full frame.

Canon 50D, 100-400 L IS USM, ISO 200, F7

Comments and Critiques welcome..

beautiful capture Mrudul :). I think more space on the top can make it more beautiful. I really don't know whether digital modification is allowed or not but to please the eye, i think its okay to increase the Top BG :). I think its called Bokeh. Don't know the real word for the faded BG!!!

Great image. Lovely clean BG, good compo. The eye especially is attention-drawing. Nice perch too. Perhaps opening the shadows would help further?

How come there's no blue crown? Though there seems to be a remainder of blue plumage on the head...

Pictures of trained birds are not allowed :D

Nice image, nevertherless.

Thanks for the Comments.

Rahul, I was trying to include the tail and both the claws. So kept some space at the bottom. It was quite close, this is full frame.

Abhishek, maybe it was immature. I have other images of another Roller with full colours. Will post that soon.

Apana, Most of the birds at Hasserghatta are trained by you :). So posted.

this is fantastic image...Love the image tone.

Lovely Bird. nice perch.... and supposedly nice haircut :)
