The Siberian Beauty

Got this Siberian Stone chat resting while the light was disappearing quickly...

A nice bird. The perch is nice. I like the composition. There seems to be some movement of the head. The top of the perch looks a bit fuzzy. Any cloning?

Hi Bibhav,

Thank you for your comments. No cloning is done on this image. Since the focus is entirely on the bird which was quite close, the top of the grass has gone out of focus.

Regards,
Priya

Looks like the light was not in your favour. there is some motion blur as Bibhav has mentioned. Compo looks good. I agree with Bibhav about the fuzziness. The top of the branch has lost details. Did you attempt to reduce the noise? That can lead to detail loss.

Nice image. I like the eye contact. It seems there are some dust spots in the sensor. Where was this photographed?

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Nice clean perch. Liked the eye contact. The back ground compliments the bird. There is a dust spot on the left edge. Nice composition. Look forward to more.

Very good image except the branch in question.;)

Lovely image Priya, the eye contact is great. I did photograph this once in Hessarghatta but not a great image worth posting here.

Lovely image Priya. The background is superb and really enhances the bird.
