Fine by me Sury :) . I like the first one best where you can see the bird's head. A serious looking beak there!

Thank you Ossie and Andy.
Ossie, I love the rich saturated colors of tropical birds. I wish I took time to shoot some on my last trip to India and Thailand last November.

Thank you Andy and Valery.
I love the second one the most Valery. It reminds me of a famous movie line
and I am paraphrasing "you looking at me?".

That's a cracking little humming bird Sury. I've rarely seen pictures of them perched. Amazing iridescent plumage.

Sury, I think that's an exeptional bird and wonderful sequential shots.

Very rare to see a Humming Bird perched so peacefully and I love the colour range of the feathers in general, very nobel colours.

You are getting good in birds' shots as well. : ) That's a very smooth background.

Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.


Some very good from everyone else also. Very lively colours and very rare bird sightings.
Thanks everyone for sharing. :)
