This is a shot inspired by Lalit's photo... one of my most favs!

Instead of multiple droplets, i tried to concentrate on one drop and more of texture on features...

My Raynox comes out of the box after almost a month!

Hope you like it

About the photo capture: its not very often that i bump ISO to 1600... did it this time (and cleaned the noise later). The green thing at the back is the textured wall in my house).. the feather.. Deepal Kul would recognize.. :)
finally i could... atleast this one!!

Never knew that cormorants have a blue eye... and capturing that in flight.. with sigma 70-300.. guess its as far as it gets with this lens..

Proud


Proud, originally uploaded by Yogendra174.

Proud.. not just the bird...
but me too.. for learning that change in position by 1 feet changes the background in turn makes the photo look totally different.. there was just a small patch of green which i could take at the back...

again thanks to my birding guru... vaibhav!

Foreground looks artificially blurred.. but its not..:)

Look.. someone's there
