[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Plastine Sunbird female, days ago I uploaded a pictures of the male, and as you see from this picture in the wild the male is more beautiful then the female...
But, the female has its own grace, I think, as you can see in this picture. I caught it in a middle of two branches, to remind you this is very small bird.
An explanation and a picture of the male you can find in my former posts Drinking Nectar and Palestine Sunbird .

Fantastic little lady Elroyie,
very good composing shot, well captured, fantastic pof and wonderful dof, good colours, very good note, I like it a lot. Good job

What a beautiful image of this very small brown bird every feather is seen spot on. TFS

Elroyie, my congratulations for this beautiful shot. Stunning presentation of the eye and bill in particular. Great details, well-assorted BG, excellent composition. I might download your image to practice my post-processing skills at cloning and try to remove the left twig neatly, just for fun. Thanks so much for posting.

Excelent shot and composition. Well done on the details.
I would have cloaned out the branch in front of the subject as it is a distraction. I like the olive colored background.
I tried a W.S. for you.

Mike

Elroyie, I test at present a new and personal way of writing my critics and you are among the first ones to whom I send it.
Any comment will largely be appreciated.
You did a very good work here as usual.

Fantastic quality Elroyie. I was going to suggest exactly as Fisher has, I think his workshop is good. I love the clean background, the details and the glint in his eye. Great work.

Superbe, belle pause de l'oiseau et l'éclairage est très bon. la netteté est bonne et le background s'harmonise bien avec le sujets. FÉLICITATIONS !

Every one who takes photos knows tha in some of them "magic" appears in the shot, this is one of them. Excellent.
I like it and it is artistic this way, but you could even clone out the left branch if you liked, to give more emphasis to the bird and get everything in focus. Thanks for sharing.

Great shot Elroyie,
Superb detail and composition. Very nice capture.
Thanks for posting

Hi Elroyie,
Excellent shot! Very dynamic compo. That bird is on the verge of taking off again, scanning the next target! Excellent DOF and sharpness with soft bokeh of BG. I like the two diagonals forcing the eye unto the subject, yet creating some tension.

Great shot although personally I would clone out the branch on the left.

Excellent sharp capture of this small sunbird. You have done very well here. I like the composition, though perhaps I would have cloned out the branch on the left, its a little distracting. Nevertheless, the bird itself is very good and beautifully exposed. Well done.

Nice shot, good sharpness, I would clone out the branch on the left side.
Well done.
TFS.

Elroyie, Excellent work..Great sharpness & detail..Like the pose. Well done!

Sweet and neat little lady, I love them too, even if they are so plain, they are cute and this is a very nice and typical pose you caught her, Elroyie.
I am on tow minds about the branch on the left, to clone it out or to leave as posted, both wil work very well, I feel.

Lovely ana cute!
Great photo with interesting note. Congratulations!

Excellent composition and sharpness. Nice OOF BG. Great shot!
