The colour of the flowers and the bird matches well. Good that you got the eye contact well. I think sacrificing some shutter speed for more depth of field ie. by using a narrow aperture of f9 or so would have been great here. Thanks for sharing.

Nice perch and eye contact. The red flowers make the image colourful. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

This image is kind of moodlifter. A very sunny elated feeling, reds provide an extra edge to the image. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely image. The bird being so tiny has come out well even after cropping. The reds look nice. Sunbirds are always a treat to watch...thanks for sharing.
