Hi Smitha,

Really nice one. You have correctly said how difficult it is to frame an airbourne small bird. Especially, this one. I know it from experience. But when you succeed the reward is heartening. Blue streak in the sky.

TFS,

Subhayan.

Hello Smitha,
A fine well-timed in-flight of one of my favourite Indian species of birds.
The take-off position is well shown with excellent colours and sharpness with a nice catch-light in the eye.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

hello Smitha

you did me a very beautiful dedication with the in-flight
shot of the Indian Roller, it is exactly the kind of bird photo
i am loving most today, like this Smitha with out exageration
i have done more that 10 000 - 12 000 clicks on small birds
perched on a tree branch my camera ready waiting for his
take-up to take his flight and to shoot it on photo

i personnally Smitha love the wings pose on this photo
that it is showing to us the flight speed of the bird,
superbly focused with excellent sharpness and details,
the beautiful light coming on the bird and the catch-light
of his eye it is rendering the photo more beautiful

merci beaucoup pour cette dédicace Smitha,

TFS

Lucky you, Smitha!
It is an extraordinary stroke of genius to capture this bird in such sharp detail as it takes off from its perch.
Never mind the wing position; it has its own charm and appeal.
It is good to see your work after a very long time.

Ram
