Hi Vivek - this a sharp image of a fascinating bird I had never heard of as they do not occur in North America where I live. Your settings created a soft bokeh background that nicely showcases this Barbet.
I'd love to learn more about the settings you use and identification of the birds you submit in the future. In this case, I'm not sure which member of the Barbet species it might be or what it's eating but I like this image. Posted: 11/11/2025 21:27:46

Thanks Grace!
The bird is Brown headed Barbet.
I used F 5.6, SS 1/1000 and ISO 500 Posted: 11/18/2025 09:25:18

I believe it is Banyan tree fruit which is reddish in colour and looks like fig fruit. Posted: 11/18/2025 09:28:50
A good clear and focussed image Vivek. Please give us more detail on the bird and the camera settings used. Welcome to the group. Posted: 11/15/2025 04:36:57

Nice image. Perhaps a little more separation from the background. A vignette would make the Barbet stand out more. I live on the opposite side of the world yet we get to share. How nice! Posted: 11/17/2025 22:35:34
Thanks Doug... Posted: 11/18/2025 09:30:02
Excellent picture of the Brown-headed Barbet. Great depth of field and details of the feathers. Where was this picture taken?
