Stunning composition Rathika!The branch follows the contour of body nicely. Deep rich purple blues show well.Kind of like a hummingbird if you ask me.
Enjoy your week.

Hi Rathika,
This is an outstanding shot of this Purple Sunbird with fabulous colours and sharpness. The sheen on its body is marvellous and the open bill gives it a fine dimension. Perfect natural lighting and focus and the BG highlights the subjects well. Excellent POV to capture this pose and a superb composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Thanks for looking at my clouds picture, Rathika, and writing your comment on it. Apparently, it is difficult to contain my joy at returning home.

You have done a great job of capturing this beautiful bird. Excellent focus, sharp details and amazing colours.
I am now itching to go for bird pictures in India and you have been an ideal to emulate all these months since I joined TN.
Best regards.

Rathika,
What a beauty yaar. Excellent shot. I just love the POV , pose and details in this picture.:)

Hello Rathika,
that Sunbird must be a hell of a problem to take a picture from, what with the metallic brillance, the black colour and the nervous behaviour. But you caught it here in all its splendor. Bravo!
best regards,
Dietrich
