Hi
This little bird is an active forest bird that flits from shrub to shrub feeding on berries. It was fortunate that he paused long enough for this image to be made. Your kind C and Cs will be much appreciated.Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this image. Always great to see birds from around the world. I really like the perch and the bird with the berry in the beak. You did very well at 1/125 with the 600 and 1.4x. The image looks just a bit over sharpened to me. A small problem on a fine image.
I'm not sure I have seen an image of this species before, thanks for sharing! I like the details, eye contact and the berry adds to it. I would desaturate the yellows a few points.
A very nice image of what will be a new bird for most of us. I would prefer it not cropped quite so tightly and I agree about the apparent slight oversharpening and slightly desaturating the yellow channel, as suggested above. The pose and action, eating the berry, is great but, as it is a species we have not seen before, it would have been nice to be able to see what its tail is like - can you post an image showing the tail?
