Tawny-flanked Prinia

[Victor Soares]

This image was created in the Botanical Gardens that are close to home. The Tawny-flanked Prinia is tiny, very fast and always very busy. I managed to fire off 4 shots while it briefly stopped on the top of this aloe flower. I was happy with the results even if the light is from slightly the wrong angle.

Very nice capture with clean BG and good feather detail. Light angle could have been better, especially on the perch, where dappled light is a problem. Nice head angle and catch light. Thanks very much for sharing, Victor.

Lovely perch and pose. I would tone down the brightest parts on the perch and wish for a bit more of a head turn.
