Hi Mike,

Hello mike,
Welcome to TN!
This is a fine shot of the Indian Roller, sharp and with good BG. The bit of noise is not too disturbing but I might have cropped it so that there was less space on the left and more on the right, so putting the bird to the left of centre.
TFS,
Regards, Ivan

Hi Mike,

Beautiful shot of a gorgeous bird. The colors are wonderful - as are the details on the jay. How nice that he posed like that for you!

This is a pretty bird from Kerala, Mike.
The image is well captured, despite the BG noise.
Welcome to TN and looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Mike,

Very well captured. You had to use ISO 400 to get the required speed to shoot the picture resulting in bit of noise. The Blue Jay however looks fantastic. TFS.

A warm welcome to TN, Mike. : )
A great shot of this roller. Details are good and the colors are very well presented. You already know about the noise in the BG, but a beautiful shot nevertheless.
Thank you for sharing.
