Sun Bird

This was at ECR this morning through the window of a car.

400D, Sigma 150-500 IS, 1/125, F6.3, ISO 200 hand held.

Beautiful Picture, the blurred leaves in the background are creating impression of flowing water in small circles :)

Rajan,
Good one. Difficult to get these little ones. It would have been nice if a branch would not have crossed behind the bird. However, one has no control over it. Often cars act as a good hide for these birds.

thats lovely image, Nicely timed shot

Interesting capture. I am wondering how the "light whorls" were created in the background of the image. It adds to the personality of the image a lot. Technically the subject is well placed. Perhaps changing your position would have given you some interesting line of shooting.

For handheld, it has come out decently. I am glad you were not using the TC though!

Overall an interesting image with thought provoking background.

Just to reconfirm, this photograph was taken through the windos glass of a car or you had lowered your window glass here?

Shot from within the car with the glass lowered. I am wondering about the background too, for all i did on the original was to export to web for a smaller footprint (under 200K).
