[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Friends,

I was not on TN for couple of days due to lots of work load. I am uploading one of the snaps of last month. I believe this is the Olive backed Sunbird, but might be wrong. Help me if with the ID if I mis-guessed it

Thanks for stopping by!
Kedar

Namaskar Kedar,

Beautiful closeup shot of this bird with awesome combinations of colors! the sharpness and POV is wonderful and so is the DOF. I like the shape of the beak of this cute bird. Well done!

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Kedar,
A fine capture of what I think is a Purple Sunbird (Nectarinia asiatica), a male in eclipse plumage. Taken from a fine lateral POV with good sharpness and lighting against a pleasing OOF neutral BG.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello Kedar.

Thank you to have proposed that nice picture from a small bird.

The composition could have be good and attracive. Unfortunately, we see one cable which is very present in the middle of the picture. Probably was it difficult to avoid it.

Good sharpness ; we can see many details from the bird. Depth of field adapted to the subject.

Finally, this is a nice photography, full of sensitivity, with the only point for the electrical wire.

Hope to see you another time on Treknature.

All the best.

hi Kedar,
What Mrajan says is right. This is not "Olive backed Sunbird" but "Purple Sunbird Male in Eclipse plumage"
