I wish for a better smooth background (bokeh) than that green banana leaf. With the rain and overcast sky, what more you can ask for?.

Gold-whiskered Barbet Under the Rain
The heavy rain stopped, but light drizzled continue when this bird suddenly perched on a dead banana leaf about 20 feet from me.

If you look at this picture below, the yellow colour was overexposed - that yellow at the bird's cheek and part of the old banana leaf. The EV + 1 2/3 compensation was too much, but for the bird that perched for a few second, I had no time to view at the camera's histogram to correct the set-up.

Well I love the banana leaf as a background. It is quite nice and fitting well with the bird colors. THe second one is splendid
Beautiful colours.
Ini kalau tak salah saya
dipanggil burung togok.
You really captured the bird beautifully, never mind about the overexposure or lack of bokeh. These are really superb to me. You seem to have a magnet for birds eh? plus good keen eyes. lol
For a couple of quick shots, you did very good. The banana leaves give us scale, and the bird is so interesting that the background doesn't create a distraction.
brilliant colors! Beautiful bird
Great bird, and a nice look at him, even if you aren't completely happy with the photo.
