I am back again :)

This little bird was captured on island Borneo few months ago in rain forest. It was not so big bird, maybe in size of wren. I made few shots before this little guy despaired. I don't know ID of this bird and it would be nice if someone can help :)

I like expression of bird and composition with fly's and bananas in BG.

Distance was round 10m, 90% humidity, camera on tripod with my big lens and low light.

Hope you like it :)

Hello Ralf
I've got my eye on this little one to, because it is so dainty and small. Just love the blurred bananas in the background; it makes a lovely tropical backdrop, which blends in well with the colour of the bird. Although this is a very tiny bird, the details displayed are pleasant and the clarity great. I just love that shiny little eye and the almost oversized beak. It was a pleasure to look at one of your postings again. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ralf,
Welcome back, it's good to see another photo from you again. You managed the exposure very well under poor light. Focus, sharpness, details and setting look very nice. TFS
Best wishes,

Hej Ralf,
An excellent capture of a Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker (Prinochilus maculatus)taken from a fine POV that shows the features, including a hint of the orange patch on the crown. Fine sharpness, especially at f2.8, and the high shuterspeed allows us to see the flying insects.
TFS/Hälsningar,
Ivan

Good to see you back. A photo in a good atmosphere.
The sharpness and details of the Flowerpecker are excellent. Great POV and a very good choice of composition. The insects in the BG are a nice bonus.
