Grey bellied Cuckoo

Grey bellied Cuckoo shot at Agara Lake, off Kanakapura road

Beautiful and sharp. Nice clear BG. I liked the perch and the open beak is a big plus.
Can you please post your EXIF and equipment details.

Lovely sharp one. love the diffused background. Could do with a tad more brightness...

It is good that you caught it in a singing pose. I agree with Bibhav that a little bit more brightness would have strengthened the image. Overall, a nice image. Thanks for sharing.

Chandrashekar,

I'm not sure if it's my monitor or my eyes, but I think you need more sharpening here. The focus seems to be on the wings.
