    Hi Moe, sure do like this image, i like the position of the stretched bird and the flower itself, so interesting. I would wish we could see more face of the bird and also maybe lift the belly shadpws that appear blocked. Flowerpiercer indeed, well done

    Very neat frame. Like how you caught a nice view of the birds feet gripping the flower. The flower is neat.

    Nice natural view of the feeding behavior, but the lack of eye contact make this really tough for me. Pretty amazing how they can hold on with those feet though. Bird looks a bit crunchy, but I suspect the higher ISO and sharpening combined to yield that result.

    I love the flowers and the scene in general. I don't mind the pose...
