Perfect HA, great details in the blacks and very nicely composed. Very nice image.

Hi Thanaboon, super pose, and you certainly have brought out the blacks nicely. The light looks nice and soft and you have a great smooth BG.

A pretty subject, nicely exposed with a complientary background. You mention a hide, are these rare? I do not recall seeing photos of this species before this.

Yes great detail in the blacks showing through, great pose and colour against the lovley muted and smooth backdrop....I think maybe the noise reduction has very slightly softened the fine detail a little

The speices is quite common here, it is also known as Black-headed Munia.
