This is a wonderful capture. Its so sharp, the lighting is great, as well as the colours. You've captured a great amount of depth in the photo as well, it will be one of my favourites. I love the affect that the filter has created.

This is most unusual and impressive photo! The exposure is perfect and the colors are so clear and shiny. The focus is razor sharp with excellent details and texture very visible. TFS.

Hi Rathica,
A very impressive capture of this asian koel!
I like so much your close approach and the clear details got, specially on the stunning red eye.
It's so good to see the detailed pattern and colors on the plumage.
I like the square composition builded with the neutral background to stand out the bird.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Hi Deborah,
Lovely picture of the gosling going out from the warmth of mother wing, curious to see the outside world.
Thanks, Mario.

Claudine. Very interesting comment that your photos come out well usuing a telephoto from a distance. It is a good tip. I like to see these close ups. Very steady hands. tfs. Murray.

Hi Juan. I like this photo a lot. The colours and clarity are excellent. The bird has its head on a good angle for this composition. Murray.

Hi Rick

Lovely POV - would say a very luck shot, but you seem adept at getting wonderful shots like this :) The eye contact is great, making this a very special shot.

Good to see you back. I am off to Poland for the w/e then back for a few days then off to NW Scotland for a long w/e.
