18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Framed by nature

The Indian pitta (Pitta brachyura) is a beautiful bird native to the Indian subcontinent. I found this beautiful bird near my home Kataragama, Sri lanka. I needed to capture it with a natural frame. So I place the camera behind a bush nearby and capture through its leaves. Technical specification: Nikon D750 + 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR 1/400 sec F 5.6 ISO-4000 280mm Hand held
