Blue-throated Barbet

I had gone for one of those birding trips and this bird was very high on my agenda to capture. It so happened that I saw a Starling and was testing my camera settings and clicking photographs. Since the light was low I ramped up the exposure levels and suddenly without any warning this bird flew in and sat just a few feet from me. I did not touch my settings and shot away to glory. I realised that many of my 'expected wonder shots' turned out to be horribly over exposed. Since I had shot in RAW - I could salvage a few shots. What a bird and what a memorable moments I spent there. This is the copy of that beautiful bird in watercolors.
