Same location, was fun, I was tired and just sitting next to the wall, besides my clicks, there was no disturbance so the birds were at ease.

Could have got much closer shots, but liked the moment, so decided to stay still.

D300, 200-400 f/4

Exif :

f/5.6

I liked the angle and the golden light. Nikhilesh, TFS the photo.

Nice head turn and eye contact. I think the image is underexposed, due to the -1.3 ev. You could have given a +ve exposure compensation instead. Increasing the ISO to 200 would have also helped. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Mrudul regarding the exposure. Nice eye contact. You can make it a bit brighter. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I like the wide composition. Lovely pose.
Posting a tweaked version of your image. Only played around with the levels. Let me know your views on it.

Nice image Abhishek. I liked the head turn .. a little bit of brightness would further enhance the image.
