This Rose ringed parakeet was feeding on ripe mangoes when a crow came along and startled it. I guess I was lucky as I fired just when the parakeet took off. D70 and 300/f4 Nikkor

Rags, Chennai India.

Rags, that is one great capture

Very good shot Rags - razor sharp, nice colours.

Awesome capture, sharp as.
Personally I think they would of been so much better if it was taken a littler earlier, with the parakeet in clear air (blue sky). But with these sorts of shots you don't get that kind of choice

Wow, great catch Rags! Right time, right place...

Nice crisp capture rags. Pity he wasn't flying into the frame to add more impact. Perhaps you can flip him around in PS. :lol:

Great shot though!
