Meet Richard ...

Meet Richard, the Pipit whom decided to stay for that one moment, one that is just enough to catch him in the ray of light escaping from darkening clouds above.

Excellent capture of the Richard's Pipit in natural environment. :thumbsup: The exposure and pose, and tilt of its head are all spot on. So is the BG. Framing wise I would prefer to shift the bird slightly more to the right so as its looking into more space, but I presume there might be more grass and roots to the pic's left.

Anyways, a very good shot and nice to see you posting again! Its been a while.

p.s. did u get my PM abt meeting up?

Finally, after a long wait, the experts are posting their pics again Thanks Avatar & skfoo earlier for sharing your beautiful pics. I am sure these pics will spur more to take up bird photography and make this forum more varied and interesting

Thank you everyone for your invaluable insights and kind comments. Let us continue to do our part for nature

Garion: Thanks for providing your insight, I will very much like to have more time to compose but this little one is really skittish, this is one of the two shots I manage to get off before it decides that "the moment" is over. (PS. Will PM you on the meetup)

SK: It has been quite a while my friend, glad to know you are still very much active too.
