Silvereye

[Greg Oakley]

One from my local park last week. There are several sub-species of this common little white-eye here in Australia. This is the Tasmanian sub-species (lateralis) which migrates across to the mainland in winter. Thanks for looking, Greg.

Extremely attractive image. Nice job with the framing of the subject...you have that aspect down to an art form. I also enjoy the pose of the subject with the legs nicely spaced, and even with all the greenery, nothing obscures the bird in any way. Well done sir.

Love your setups, Greg and how you always manage to unobtrusively frame your birds with foliage. Gorgeous bird and I'm enjoying the wet feel in this image. Excellent flash work as always.

Not much I can say except your images are some of the best setup shots around. Always well balanced and well composed. Very consistent quality images and this one is right up there. Nice work.

Beautiful work Greg. I like the oof natural variability in the background. It looks just a tiny bit grainy but nothing to be concerned about. Cheers, Ian.

Beautiful pose and comp on this lovely bird. I could imagine just a little more NR on the bg, and a little less flash.

Hi Greg, tack sharp, and love the detail and colours on this fellow. Nicely posed in the open as you always manage to capture, and if anything, I would tidy up the catchlight a touch.

A very "Oakley" image. Everything works well here. Just the head angle, although not bad nor angled away, would be better with the bill not pointed down so much IMO. Perfect techs and processing as per usual...

Amazingly beautiful image, Greg.
