Nice image.Good composition with habitat.Male Purple Sunbird in eclipse plumage.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice head turn and eye contact. The catch light in the eye looks nice. Was any special post processing done on the flowers? I would have liked them to be in focus to display its habitat. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. I agree that the flowers on the right if in focus will strengthen the composition as it is on the rule of thirds position and attracts attention. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone.Mrudul & Sabyasachi-The bird was very close to me.So to get the flowers in the front in focus ,I would have needed an aperture value of about 15 or more.Even that would have been not sufficient.No special processing has been done,as Mrudul has asked. Roopak-Ya I have caught it feeding as well,will upload the image soon.
