Lovely shot, great perch and a really regal pose. Nice compo. However I think there is a slight loss of detail... Why is that?

[Bibhav Behera]

Very nicely composed. The pose in nice. Wish the light were a bit softer.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Sharp. Liked the pose and the eye contact. Nice composition. Nicely done.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Lovely. I like the composition. Also, most parts of the bird is lit. The mound has come out well. Eye contact is nice.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

[Priya Vinay]

Great pose, light, details and the mound just adds to the image Thanks for sharing...

Even I was in Hesarghatta last Saturday and I guess I saw you guys shooting this ( I think you were in a Safari and a Scorpio, correct me if i am wrong), I am not sure. I dinno it was you guys, else would it would have been great to meet you all together

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Priya you guessed it right - we were there shooting this Juv BK, Sabyasachi and Mrudul were in Safari, I and Anu were in Ford Endeavour (Black). It would have been nice to meet you and Vinay Kumar. Probably next time we will let each other know if we are making birding trips outskirts of blore.
