Kunal Gandhi, Beauty and Perfection! (Animal & Nature 2021)

All images taken with Fujifilm XT4 in JPEG form sooc, does have Fujifilm simulation applied before taking the picture, mostly Velvia. This year's theme is Beauty and Perfection! Took an image of the blue chicken hovering over the water and preparing for a successful landing. You can see the wings are in front and it's decreasing the speed. Such things fascinate me actually :). Taken at 1000th of a second. Second image is a Cormorant bird that was playing in the water and then decides to launch itself into air. Could see it flapping it's wings with such speed and then it causes these micro splashes in the water, was absolutely amazed when I saw the picture that came out of the camera! Third picture is of a cute doggie that wanted me to throw the stick for it to fetch. Luckily I had my camera and asked my mate to throw the stick, so I could play with my camera, got this incredible shot of the dog where it's fully focused at the stick that still in mid-air and falling... Fourth picture is of a beautiful looking flower bud, the more you zoom in the more colourful it gets, used the Fuji 80mm macro to create the bokeh effect and get the lollipop effect :). Thanks!
