Green Bee Eater on a Cotton Tree

Posted on March 8, 2011
Green Bee Eater
Green Bee Eater Near a Red Flower

These days I am fascinated with the red flowers and the birds that come and sit on the cotton tree (Bombax Ceiba). And there are so many types of birds that like this tree! This one is called Semal in Hindi.

These days I have started to compress my pictures when I post them to my blog. But some of them really look a little faded if I compress them. So when I am not compressing them the water mark goes back to the middle of the picture. I wish I could understand why some pictures loose clarity when I compress them. Happened with the Lady Bug picture too and had to post it at a higher resolution.

    I also faced similar problems with the blogger uploaded photos and thus I used flickr. It displays pictures bigger and have good resolution.

    Your captures are getting better daily. Good one Mridula.

    Tarun what to do?

    Thanks Sandeep.

    Abhilash I will give Flickr a try. My problem with posting high resolution pictures is that they end up on somewhere without my knowledge!

    Thanks Anu.
