1D Mark 2, Canon 500 f4, x1.4, 1/500, f8, iso 320, tripod, full Wimberley, hide

This is a tiny bird which is pretty common in the Australian bush.
Got this a few years ago.

Ofer,
Lots of details and the lighting is brilliant. I may make my way down Oz yet to check out the birds there.

Very nice techs, sharp, well exposed, interesting perch.
The only thing that I might consider if it were mine, would be to lower the luminosity of the flowers just a bit. There are so bold and bright that they compete with the subject.

Very nice as is, just an option.

Great bird and perch. I could have sworn it was Alan Murphy from the thumbnail. :) Great details and colors. Nice job!

[sulasula]

Very "silent" and clear picture! Very good composition and framing. Thanks for inspiration!

[Kiran Poonacha]

Just loved the bird and perch...

Agree with the comments of all your fans, above, Ofer. Beautiful image. Also thought this looked Murphyish. Nobody else has mentioned it, so it must be my minority humble opinion, but, when doing the Fabs crop test (that is, looking at the thumbnail), I get the impression the bird is going to bump its head on the top. That is, I think I'd like to see a bit more room at the top, and left as well.
