These are great little birds, we have them in our garden but they are quite hard to photograph. I like the way the bird just pops out of the foliage and in fact, I would have been happy to see all the foliage out of focus.
Like the colour combination and the beak full.
Hi Hilary - the secret is to find their food source and then position yourself so that you have a good view. They will often return to the same perch - find a perch with a good clean BG that they land on and your are set.
Good advice Lance. I'd like to get more of our little birds but it takes planning. We had a couple of New Holland Honeyeaters nesting right beside our door but I couldn't figure out how to take any photos due to the position of the nest. If they come back this year I think I have it figured out. We managed to fledge 2 (well the parent birds did!).
This little guy is well seen Mr. Peters...I like the pop up pose, you have a good head angle and sharp eye, the color rendition is good...good show...:cool:
I See You
