Calling Munia.......

Scaly Breasted Munia.........
In the Golden light of the morning sun we saw this little fellow in the open and calling to his team or mate for something we gently approach the bird and took some good snaps.......This is with my old Gear Nikon D7000 and Sigme 150-500mm.......

The side lighting is soft enough to work very well here. Gorgeous little bird and I like that you left it smaller in the frame. Nice behavior captured. There is a dust sensor spot visible towards the left edge of the frame, above the perch, parrallel with the bird's head...

Stunning little bird and I think you chose the right composition. Some may have been tempted to go tighter, but I like this. Your BG is stunning and I love that calling pose. I may consider a little more sharpening of your bird.

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful perch and nice composition.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
I really like the placement of the bird in the frame.
Great diagnol perch, wonderful background, and great cslling pose.
Well done.

Interesting bird with nice pose, BG, and comp! Thanks for sharing!

[Bruce Spell]

Agree with all that has been said, very nice bird and bg. I do notice a spot and faint horizontal line towards the bottom of the perch...

loverly image,agree with all that it has been said.

Oh yeah, this is very sweet! The thumb does not do this image justice. I'd be tempted to eliminate the small white line touching the perch near the bottom, and the small OOF white circle just above that. All else looks excellent.
