Very beautiful image Haim and I love the way you were able to capture the irredesence and gorgeous coloring of this sunbird. Very nice composition and good eye contact as well as a low angle. No nits for me.

HI Haim,
Exposure handled very well.........detail throughout whites and majority of the blacks.......not an easy task!
Very nicely done.

Well-exposed and great details. I'm not sure I've seen this species before, thanks for sharing. There is a slight sharpening halo, which should be easy to fix.

Wow, way to go Haim. Great work. I really like the composition and the detail in your subject is outstanding. The only thing I might have tried is getting both your subject and the perch in sharp focus. I can understand that time may have been a factor

Very nice Haim Very nice shadow detail in one tough bird to photograph Excellent position to render the entire bird sharp with enough dof Do see the slight halo which is easy to deal with If anything would remove some of the perch? I like it a lot !!!
