actually it was dull cloudy day and to get exposure right I required to increase the exposure a bit...I do it regularly
crop a lot
but that is to be done...I was 15-20 feet away and with my 500mm I could get only this result ...its almost not possible to go nearer
today I shot in my home garden and I know they are better
will post at night

Here are two birding shots I quickly snapped in the morning
