[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Its like bird fever on TN,I am not the exception. So I am holding back my new pictures and digigng into my archives for bird pictures. Here I got one. Taken almost 1/2 year back immediate after I got my camera. There were so many birds at that time and I didnt know settings of camera so i just did shoot with Auto settings and some with manual settings. Those were rainy days (July in India).Now i really miss them as I have learned some lessons about photography. Eagerly waiting for mansoon (its almost 6 months aways :(.
There is this dried wood brach near my house. And this is the favourite place of lots of birds. Its till there. I have some pictures of birds sitting on it. i would post eventualy.
There are two birds in picture. I wonder how can they sit so calmly without fighting. Human should learn something from them. The left one is Bulbul as known in india. Right one is called Dayal in india. I dont know the real name. Some of you might say I would have cropped the picture a bit more. But for me, its the composition I liked the most so i kept as it is.
The dark background you can see is because of clouds.Hope you would like it.

Hello Mahesh,
As you say two birds in one shot! The one on the left is the Red-vented Bulbul and on the right the Magpie Robin.
Both are presented sharply with fine BG and Comp..
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Bonne journée.

I am impressed that you took such a nice bird picture with your new camera half a year ago, Mahesh.
To have two birds within the frame and that too well in focus should be a matter of quite a lot of satisfaction to you.
You did well by not cropping the image. The sense of expansiveness that we see here would have gone if you had done that.
Well sone and TFS.

Hello Mahesh,
Beautiful duo with great composition, color and exposure. The background blur is just right hiding some modern signs.
Best wishes,
Hakan

Hi Mahesh,
The bird fever has been going on for a long time and will continue for ever. It is just a subject loved by a lot of TNers. So please don't hold off from your fresh work. But, do post these kind of beauties as well. What a stunning capture of this lovely couple. Colors and lighting are very good and the details are perfect.
TFS,
Niek
