Hello Selen,
Great capture of the Glossy Flowerpiercer in a fine pose and with excellent sharpness and lighting of the head, which is what counts most. Nice bokeh and composition too.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Selen,

I am back from a trip and I realize that you are still doing your incedible shots with birds and landscapes. Thank you for showing us your treasures.

This Flowerpiercer merits a special comment. Since it is all-black it is notouriously difficult to photograph. But you found a way with the light, the reflections from above and from below give the black the needed gloss. Well done!

My best regards,

Dietrich

You caugth a very nice pose. Super image. Very close and sharp.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Selen!

Very nice portrait. Excellent pose and 'face'. Very good details of feathers - they're glossy indeed :-) Blurred BG looks good also.

Hi Selen,
This is a wonderful shot with sharp details on its plumage and nice colours. Superb natural lighting and you have captured a majestic pose here. I like the glint on its eyes and the stunning bill. Excellent POV to portray it against a smooth BG and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Selen.
Well I have not seen this species before.
It perches the same as a redwing blackbird.
Very nice pose, and quality of photo.
I think black birds are quite difficult to photgraph, but it worked here.
Smile:)
