Hi Ulla,
What a beauty and sunny capture!
I like a lit the upwards POV to have that stunning blue sky as background.
It's so good the composition made with the addition of the inflorescence's yellow.
Details on the bird are very sharp also.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hej Ulla,
fin sommarbild med härliga färger till skillnad mot
gråvädret nu, igår kom det snö och det var en fint vinterdag
med sol, blå himmel och snö men idag är allt som vanligt igen.
Well composed picture with lovely colours and fine details.
Well done, my friend.

Have a great weekend

Hi Ulla.
Amazing in every aspect picture with great DOF and sharpness of the entire image. The unknown for me bird is fine and funny. Blossoming twig is great too. Sunlight and vibrant colours decorate the image perfectly. Composition is also spot on. Bravo. Superb job.

Hi Ulla,

You keep coming up with things that are brand new to me. A beautiful shot of this rather strange looking bird. A nice pose on that lovely branch. Sharp details and a wonderful composition.

Ulla;
you and your husband are both very good and very different int he way you see or PP things...One is female and one male but it is not any quality based on that...just different..although there is that dainty quality in the sharpening process which makes it fine as sleek but still not overs harpened..

Well Ulla, you've given us an interesting species on an interesting species this time. Not an easy achievement, I think. Both the bird and the tree are unknown to me, which shows the degree of my kowledge (or ignorance) in biology!
Cordially yours,
Mehmet

Hello Ulla
I don't think I have ever seen a bird with such a thin neck and face. This is a very pretty "summer feeling" posting. Clear and bright blue sky, green leaves on the tree and colourful pollen filled flowers. Some of the pollen is still stuck to this Little Friarbird's beak. I also like the patch of yellow feathers on the birds chin and neck, as well as the way the beak is parted a little bit. And of course I cannot forget the round eye with that hint of glint. Very good close-up with great details. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day.
Kind regards
Anna

What an amazing capture - these guys are so difficult to get to stay still, so to be able to get such a sharp focus, with the beautiful yellow under the beak, from 10 metres away, hand held is a feat - well done.

Such a beautiful background blue backdrop and composition with the leaves too - tfs.
Best,
Janina

Hi Ulla

A delightful capture of this little Friarbird. It must be a combination of the full-on POF of this bird with the interesting expression on its face, the bright blue sky, the colourful flowers, and the vivid unsullied greens of the new leaves that gives this photo a real sparkle that is very pleasant on the eye.

I like how you used the foliage to bring some added interest into the composition. The colours are strong, the details are sharp, and the exposure was spot-on.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Ulla
Superb shot of this bird in its natural surroundings. The colours are brilliant and the details are very sharp.
I could not help noticing how much this bird resembles the Cape Sugarbird found only in the extreme south of South Africa (I have previously posted a photo on TN that you can compare it to). TFS.

Hello Ulla,
such a beautiful shot of this bird. Blue sky background is marvellous. The great clarity and sharpness is the great stunning impact to this photo.
Well composed with the branch and leaves and flower too.
Excellent shot.

Regards,
Foozi.

NB: The insect that you asked about did not smell when touched. I,ve touched it. But some say when really irritated it gives a kind of gas that is a bit smelly and sharp.
