Take-Off

Please rate and comment.

Very nice capture Arup with the wings outstretched and the berry in its mouth!

Beautiful action shot. I like the composition, the nice creamy background and the overall colors. A very pleasing image. Well done!

The berry and the moment of take-off make this photo, no distractions in the BG. Too good.

Beautiful capture of this bird and its berry. I'd suggest a much tighter crop, perhaps into a square or portrait orientation.

I tend to agree with the possibility of a tighter crop!

 

When viewed in the larger version the clarity and details would certainly withstand the tighter crop should you decide to do so!

 

I like the background and more so the blur from movement of the wings!

 

Cheers,

Just to throw a wrench in it ... :-)

I actually prefer the crop as is. It gives the bird something to fly into, and the out-of-focus trees in the background form a nice diagonal and add to the picture. I also like how the trees and the sky repeat the colors of the bird.
However, I'd say it's mostly a matter of personal preference: in this case I prefer the environmental portrait, while others might go for the shoulder shot.
