This is some Decent shot from the many. Actually I was not concentrating properly that time, probably due to the veriety of species around, though my primary target was leaf bird. Critique most wel come.

Lovely image of the beautiful bird. It appears to me that it is a male Blue-winged Leafbird (Chloropsis cochinchinensis).I like the first image and the colourful composition. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild


P.S.: In The Ripley Guide, the race is treated as Jerdon's Leafbird (Chlopsis jerdoni)

Cute bird. Good you could photograph it. In the first image the eye contact is nice and the habitat looks good. In the second image, a vertical composition would have been better as presently the tail is getting cut. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see this species. The trick is to relax. When you are relaxed, your movements are also steady and measured. The birds will also not get alarmed and you will get them close and nice. Banish any kind of fear from your mind, including fear of failure.

Rather than focusing on too many species, decide on any one and observe the species for more time. That will help in increasing knowledge as well as give opportunity for creating better images.

Cheers,
