I could approach very close to this Kookaburra as it sat on a low branch close to where a family were Barbecuing steaks at Ku ring Gai National Park ! Got many views but this one seems better.

light in eye..and sharp
feather textures apparent and well ruffled
head shot so beak is well displayed
background supportive but not intrusive

This is very very good indeed..you have captured him perfectly looking so natural with the ruffled feathers..perfect sharpness and a lovely bg which highlights the subject perfectly.
Great Work and TFS

Hello Badruddin,

A great capture (close up)from this Kookaburra. A good composition. Close eye contact. Natural colours. One little nit. I find the contrast a bit to low. Anyway a beautiful close up. Maybe I do tomorrow a little WS. I'll let you no when it's happend. Regards and TFS BOB

Hello Badruddin,
Superb close portrait of a Kookaburra. We didn't get so close to one when we were in Ku-ring Gai a couple of years back.
Excellent sharpness and lighting and pleasing sky Bg
Well done and TFS!

Hello Budruddin,
Wonderfully detailed close up of this Kookaburra. I like the blue sky background and his lovely eye.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Badruddin.
You were absent so long time here that I needed some days to realize, that you are again with us. I am very glad.

Excellent shot executed at portrait key. Amazing framing, superb colours, very good sharpness and details. Bravo, my friend.
Alexei.
