Hi All,

Well today I have a cute little silver eye for you. I've been wanting to post one of these for weeks, but I have had very little luck with these little guys. These are really cute birds. They're really small, and jump around from branch to branch and from flower to flower. Quite exhausting.

Hope you enjoy.

Hey Zakiwi. That is a wonderful picture. I love it. So soft and delicate. Very sharp details, beautiful colors... a great portrait. Well done and TFS. : )

Hi Erich

I know just how hard these wee beauties are to capture. You have done a great job. Lovely close details. Good depth of colour. Light was in your favour. Only nit, focus is soft. Good job just the same and well worth 2 points considering the effort that needs to go in to photograph these charachters.

This looks more like a painting to me than a photo Erich. He looks so big, a little soft, but I think you've done a good job on it. Well composed, good lighting and his colours and details are great. Well done.
I posted one once - our cat caught it, and I photographed it while it was recovering and before if flew away! That's the only way I could catch one - send the cat out to hunt one for me!

Ha, ha, I remember these birds from Pam's posts. This is cute ball of feathers in great pose. I like it!

Picture is excellent, good work, Very good sharpness, details, colours/light and copmposition. Thanks for sharing

Hi Za, this looks just a little soft, maybe because it was jumping around so much, but it is a lovely image. Great exposure really bringing out the colours and lovely composition.

Nice shot Erich
Good detail and good POV. Nicely exposed and good colours.
I'd like to have seen more space above and to the left of the silvereye, the framing is a bit tight for me. Still a wonderful capture.
Thanks for posting.

Hello Za,
this is a cute looking bird. Wonderful!!

Hot shot ZaKiwi. Not an easy one this. Well done, Rob. PS - Are you ready for the rugby this weekend?

Hi Erich,

This is a good picture and you captured the bird well. You know by now that I like a picture to be a bit sharper than what you like, but I think that is just personal taste. Nice focus and blurred BG. Well done.

Jan-Hendrik

Fantastic shot
