Hi,

This image was shot in the outskirts of Bangalore, i had not seen a sunbird rolling / rotating over a branch (or it might be new to me). Just loved the natures setup here with varied colours and hence wanted to share.

The image is nice. I like the blurred background. Would have been better to place the subject a bit off centred. Thanks for sharing.

Agree about the need for offcentre composition. The out of focus highlight is slightly distracting. However, the colours have come out well. So is the tree. These small birds are incredibly agile. You will find them doing all sorts of twists and turns. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Sunbirds do behave like that, but if you study them closely you will soon learn to anticipate their movements.

Nice behaviour captured. The composition is nice. The open beak is a plus. The colours are nice. Did you get any more photographs?
