"Floating Pearl" The pearl is the queen of gems and the gem of queens- so I was clicking very mundane subject as I grew up close to the village. and all I wanted to create is to create an image to remove the yuck factor associated with a frog. and all I could think of is gem-like eyes. or very water droplet-kind eyes.

Frozen in Time During many of my visits to capture this stunning beauty, The Vernal Hanging Parrot, I got a frame where the bird was taking off from a millet corn, with the pollen flying behind it because of the jolt. What makes this one of my favourite is the golden light which is falling on its body and the side of the corn ! Being ready for the action with correctly dial in settings for this freeze made it possible. EXIF: ISO 400, f4.0, 1/2500 shot at 400mm Equipment details: Sony a1 and FE 400mm f2.8 GM OSS
