I was carrying my camera in the car for past 4 days hoping to take exactly this photo.. i know 4 days back that this photo will have one idol in full focus and others blurred, and will have selective coloring... It happens few times that you visualize the photo.. then take it and then process it and it matches exactly the way you visualized...

See 2 more photos in comments!

My favorite festive for which i wait for the whole year.. its there tomorrow :D
Here is the photo before selective coloring

And with another angle!

>> am i proud of this photo?.. No!
>>Why? >> Noise.. Color... Halo
>> So Why Upload? >> Still think one of the best "moments" i have captured...

Technically not perfect... looks more like a painting... but believe me guys this is a real moment capture (and Naina was evidence!!).

Hope i will get better light next time when the Kingfisher decides to "fly off" when i am shooting :)

Some more facts about the photo:
Location: Somewhere in the fields between Hadapsar and Thevur (Near Pune)
Tech Details: 300MM, 1/750s: f/8 : ISO 200.
Moment: This guy was sitting pretty on a electricity line and when i started shooting he decided to fly off... i still clicked.. and got this!
Sky.. it was overcast as you can see.. helo.. no clue why!

Conclusion: I write too much when i am emotionally attached to a photo, which i know is not technically perfect... just to defend the upload :) hehehe.
