[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
White-cheeked barbets are restricted to forested ecosystems in peninsular India and after among the most frequently heard canopy dwelling birds in India's peninsular forests. These largely frugivorous birds are typically high up in the canopy and as a result, difficult to get a picture of. This picture was taken from a hide, on a raised platform, located near a fruiting tree.

Hello Ravi,

Good pose of the bird!
The diagonal branch adds dynamics, DoF works well and isolates the subject well from the background...
Good colour palette!
