Hi Aivar

This is a lovely shot of the female sunbird feeding on the aloe flower. Sorry I cannot help with the ID as it is rather difficult with these similarly coloured and marked females (as you pointed out) and I do not have enough knowledge about them to be able to distinguish the one from the other.

I like the composition with the flower running through the frame on the diagonal. The colours are stunning, the details are delicate and sharp, the lovely blue sky BG is superb, and the exposure was spot-on.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Aivar,
A very good photo, caught this female of Cinnyris well. I have put a WS. I hope that you like. I have made a small change I have given a homogenous color to the sky. I hope that it does not displease to you.
Salutacions cordials.

Very good shot, Aivar.
The subject is well captured against the blue sky.
The branch of the plant it is pecking on adds to the overall impact of the composition.

Hi Aivar.
BRAVO. Pictured scene and quality of the shot are perfect at highest range. Staggering colours and lighting, razor sharpness of the bird and plant, pose of the bird and diagonal composition are really tremendous. Superb done and TFS.

El punto más fuerte de esta bella imagen Aivar es sin dudas la definición y agudeza obtenidos, gracias a un conjunto de cualidades que conforman una gran presentación.
Gran foco, intensa pero bien controlada iluminación, un punto de vista que genera un imponente fondo azul y un apropiado encuadre que colabora con la estética de la composición.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

The strongest point in this beautiful image Aivar is without doubts the clearness and obtained sharpness, due to a group of qualities that they conform a great presentation.
Great focus, intense but well controlled illumination, a point of view that generates the imposing blue bottom and appropriate frmaing that it collaborates with the aesthetics of the composition.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Hi Aivar

This is another great capture of yousrs!
The pose here of this little cute sunbird is great as well as the timing of your shot - catching it while having a snack :)
The sharpness of the deteails is exceptional and the overall composition is wonderful thanks to the big, bright diagonal plant.
Very good work!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Aivar,
Excellent composition and framing on this shot. You handled the nice light with a perfect exposure. Great colors and sharp detail in the plumage. Blue sky backround is beautiful here.
