Very nice shot, Satish. The pose of the bird is really cool. Good colour and details.

Hi Rimantas,

I like your composition of the shot here with the arched branch as a perch for the dragonfly. Good details, DOF and background.

Hi Sergey,

Beautiful capture here of this bird at the water. Your low POV shot at the ground level (water level actually) is very cool!

Enjoyed it! TFS,

Hi Erika,

Great job here with the back light! There is also some reflective light on the throat that adds to the glow of this picture. Very cool effect. And again, very good contrasting background.

Hi Fatih,

Very colourful wren! It is quite interesting to see a wren that is not brown! Amazing shades of blue, very cool!

cheers,

Hi Zahoor,

Hi Richard,

Very cool shot indeed! Great effect with the shallow DOF. It seems both, you and the mantis, were not expecting this encounter!

cheers,

Hi Mike,

A good attempt to capture this beautiful little bird. Its too bad about the distracting branches, but these little warblers are extremely agile and can be hard to get a decent shot.

Good luck for future shots!

Hi John,

You've captured the 'intent' of this bird in its eyes! It keeps watch while it steals a drink from this sprinkler - very clever.
I heard the drought in Australia is quite bad. Hope the situation will improve soon.
