Purple-throated Sunbird

[Waqar Amin]

This weekend went to find blue eared king fisher but was returning empty handed when saw this tree with birds (lucky day).
Very bad light due to clouds but i did tried my best to get clear shoot.
As usual C&C is most welcome.

It's tough when you have a dark subject against a bright BG, but you've done quite well Waqar. Nice pose and good sharpness. I might desaturate the flowers a little as they tend to overpower your subject.

Thank you Doug for your kind advice.

Hi Waqar , what a beautiful bird and you have captured the colours beautifully. Like the eye contact. Good advice from Doug re the background.
