Hi,

Thats a sharp closeup.Even at 1/25 you got a sharp photograph.The fruit caught in the beak makes it interesting.Since you took the photograph from the window the window pane is visible, but nicely blurred.

I liked the composition.

Look forward to more..

Kiran,
No idea why the image was showing as a thumbnail. I had to delete the attachment and do it again.

I guess lot of people would be jealous that you have good opportunities from your bedroom. :-)

The image is sharp. Nice closeup. You have burnt the bright highlights in the background. That is the best possible way to do during post processing. It would have been great without the out of focus bar at the bottom.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Thanks guys.
the blur part in lower portion is not bar, its branch.
Also in the orginal raw file the beak part was sligtly over exposed, I underexposed that to get some details.

Such a lovely shot.
I am so unlucky, I can see only Dom Pigeons, and House Sparrows from my window
