Ho Ho Madam has shot a wonderful picture with that Bazzoka and posted it!! It was really a surprise!
Great picture Smitha and in this picture I can really see the details very well. The BG is decent and that catch light is special.

Hallo Smitha
Beautiful bird captured from a side view. The different shades of colour in the feathers are displayed beautifully, and the white lining alongside the edges is very striking. I get the impression that this seems to be a very proud bird. I love the two coloured beak and the prominent pose. The neutral background emphasize the detail of the lovely plumage. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.

Hello Smitha,

Excellent shot of this elegant looking bird.Lovely colots and tones, excellent focusing and sharpness. Lovely details, composition and the POV is really effective. The OOF BG is non distracting which gives a very nice contrast with it's fresh green look. Good and interesting notes and TFS.

hello Smitha,
Very subtle bird-shot. At first glance it is not an eye-catcher, but looking closer it's a beautiful and elegant bird. I like especially the darker wings on the brown plumage. Excellent pose showing well the plumage and the head. Good decentred composition too.
Thanks for picture and interesting note

Hello Smitha,
I have seen flocks of Rosy Starlings in Goa, but never got as close as this to take such a fine shot and digital cameras were still in their infancy then.
This image of one in winter plumage has everything a top class bird photo should have: good POV, sharpness, lighting, OOF natural BG and set in a fine composition.
Nice to view and thanks for sharing it!
My best wishes to you, Anil and your family,
Ivan

Hi Smitha

Too little time and too much to do before the holidays so just a quickie for now.

I cannot remember seeing a Rosy Starling before so, thanks for the introduction.
This is a great capture with lovely sharp details and pretty colours. The composition
is super with ample space for the bird to look into and that branch delivering the
subject to the image. It's about time that we see another posting from you again.

Well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot
