i like all the shots, especially the first one. These birds are so tiny but you manage to get so close up.

Wow.....

Where did you get these shots? I recently went to Bird Park and got the same kind of bird with the same flowers.

My shots not as close up as your? Did u crop heavily? Cos I can't get near to the bird as it will fly off and heavy cropping blur my image.

Your image is not that sharp maybe coz of cropping? but composition is nice!

hehe thank icer. i got these shots at SBG. went together with madcat's outing. i juz shot them and make sure they look acceptable on my lcd preview, went home and happily cropped them to make them look big hehe, thus caused the image to look soft, usmed them.. did helped a little bit.

like the first one...the flipping of the wings make the pic looks very dynamic.
what shutter speed did u use?

The first shot is particularly interesting with the motion induced, however, it is a pity that it is not properly processed. Perhaps you will like to try to apply more post-processing work on it like what you did for your last shot? I reckon it will be a lot better this way. Keep up the good work!
