Ashy crowned sparrow lark

[Bhargava Srivari]

Shot last month in Shamirpet, Hyderabad. Initially thought of having less space at the bottom and lots of space at the top, but decided against it as that composition wasn't giving the same creamy background seen in this picture.

I like the present composition. The eye contact and the background looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the composition. Eye contact is good. Side on pose would have helped in depth of field covering the bird. To me the distracting part in the image is the foreground. I would like to see it in focus.
