[amollambe]

Hi,



This picture taken from my residence gallery. In front of my house there is really big tree 90ft Nilgiri (Eucalyptus) Tree. This tree harbor many species of birds Sunbird, Green Bee Eater, Red Vented Bulbul, Indian Myna etc.. I was 7 to 8ft away.

Hope u will like it!

Regards,

What lens were you using?

The result is interesting, for the close-up on the bee-eating action and the bright colours of the bird and insect. However, it is a little soft - that may be a characteristic of a long zoom lens pushed to the far end at a wide aperture. You could possibly get round that by experimenting to find the sharpest settings on the lens and then cropping the final picture down to make it look closer or by using post-processing software.

Also, it is a shame the tail got cut off. Since the background is fairly drab, I would be tempted to crop in a bit closer (despite the softness) to make the most of the subjects (probably so the tail comes diagonally out of the bottom right corner).

Hi Wulf,
I was using 75-300 III USM, it's a soft lens. I will definitely try what u suggested.
