    Default Purple-throated Sunbird

    This weekend went to find blue eared king fisher but was returning empty handed when saw this tree with birds (lucky day).
    Very bad light due to clouds but i did tried my best to get clear shoot.
    As usual C&C is most welcome.

    It's tough when you have a dark subject against a bright BG, but you've done quite well Waqar. Nice pose and good sharpness. I might desaturate the flowers a little as they tend to overpower your subject.

    Hi Waqar , what a beautiful bird and you have captured the colours beautifully. Like the eye contact. Good advice from Doug re the background.
