Aditya,
I love the clean background and the composition. I think it is a paddyfield pipit. Where was it photographed?
I'm not too sure about the species you clicked. But I'd clicked a Paddyfield Pipit recently, it is somewhat more yellow and has a whitish line over its eyes with brown strokes over its head. Maybe it is one of the warblers.
Lovely composition. I love the straws in focus along with the bird. The bird is nice and sharp.. Good shot. These birds are very frisky and tough to get at one place...
Nice composition. I am mentally debating whether cropping out the small stone chip in the foreground (towards extreme right bottom) would make it more precise & impactful. Cropping in that plane would also give more space to the main subject here.
Would love to know the EXIF for it. I think you have mentioned about the equipment used...
Thank you. The clean background has been the result of shooting at 510mm (300 X 1.7X) at 4.6 feet. I used a car as a hide and managed to have a whale of a time with two of these! It was photographed near the Kausalyaganga wetlands.Quote:

I'm not too sure but it could be one of the pipits. But its not a Paddyfield that's for sure.

Hmmm.... I've been comparing, the beak looks identical, legs and body colouring too look identical, supercillium is also similar, though it can't be made out in my picture, as the bird's feathers are ruffled and the head looks rounder. I think I'm being more and more convinced it is in fact a Paddyfield Pipit. Thanks a ton for the link.Quote:

Sharp bird and FG and a totally blurred BG look great. Lovely image.
It is a Zitting Cisticola. Uploading a photograph taken by me ( bad ) for comparison.
Thanks Vikram, but does the Cisticola spend most of its time on the ground? And isn't it smaller? Will post another picture, from a better angle, so that you can compare.Quote:
