Well done Man Yee on these 2 birds. You have focused really well on the front bird's face. Its facial details are so clear. And what beautiful birds they are. You have a good camera and lens - so we can expect more like this from now on.
I see it is also known also known as Rothschild’s Mynah - I can see the same eye patterns (but different colours) as our local mynahs.
Well done
Janice

Hello Man Yee,
Very nice capture of these Bali Mynahs. Very interesting colors which we don't get to see in India. POV and composition are very good.
Thanks for sharing

Merhaba Man Yee,
Bunlar ne kadar güzel kuşlar böyle. Oldukça fantastik bir renklere sahip bu kuşların varlığından bile haberim yoktu. Hem başarılı çekimleriniz hem de bunları bizimle paylaştığınız için çok teşekkürler. Başka karelerde görüşmek dileği ile.
Hoşçakal.

Hello Man Yee,
These Bali Starling are really fabulous and I like your capture very much showing two of them together enjoying the fruit. A very nice composition in beautiful colours. With a smaller aperture you would have got the two in focus but even so for your first bird capture this is very nice. Maybe you were too close or have cropped it a little too tightly as well. They have a similar huge aviary in Singhapore which was great to visit.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Very nice photo of these birds. They are always difficult as they constantly move, but you've done a good job with the focus and the birds grouped together. They are very interesting subjects.

Hello Man Yee,

I like your photo with this two birds as it has a very nice and delicate light rendering very well the white fethers of the bird. You have chosen a good DOF keeping in focus mostly the first bird. Nice composition too with the red fruit near the birds.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Man Yee,

This is a very good first.
You have the front bird perfectly in focus and that allows the viewer to assorb its details.
A very nicely composed shot with the slightly out of focus bird in the b/g.
The red fruit adds just the right amount of colour.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

It is a beautiful bird, so pristine white and different than other mynas I have seen! Maybe breeding some in capitivity is the only chance for them?

Hi My,

The Bali Mynah on the branch are impressive. The subject is well frame. The point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the birds. The colors are enhanced by the luminosity. Have a nice day.
