Nice image Sandesh, this is not an easy bird to shoot. But you have done quite well, the details and colors have come out well, the sharpness is good too.

Nice. The contrasting shades in this bird make it difficult to expose correctly, but you have done that quite well. The out of focus parts look a bit unnatural though.

The composition and eye contact is good sandesh, And ya it is very difficult to shoot this bird.

One has to be patient with these sunbirds. Knowing which flowers they visit becomes easier to shoot. Due to the black eye on the dark background (feathers) it becomes important to shoot it in frontal lighting. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Cheers,

The eye contact and the perch is nice. A little less space at the top would be good. Wish you were a bit closer. Thanks for sharing.
