The purple beauty

A handheld shot. Credit goes to chngpe01 for getting this shot. I would have missed it if he did not point it out to me.

Thanks PE!

Nice shot bro. I did not get any god one from here.

Good shot there bro. I like how the bird is "framed" by the vegetations. Colours look a bit dull to me though, could use a bit of contrast + saturation in PS to bring it out.

Thanks bro! This is also the only one that turned out to be better. The other shot got a dull sky as the background

Oops! Didn't notice it until you mentioned I'll try to do some adjustment tonight

Did some saturation already. However, the saturation seems to be slightly different after going through the image host server.

Nice one lim, looks very "natural" with green surrounding. Not easy to get good picture under mid day sun. I especially dislike the reflection from vegetation. Just curious will a CP help to cut the reflection and produce better color ?

Nice catch Lim! The surroundings provides a suitable environmental setting for this shot, a good blend IMO. Well done my friend

Thanks for the kind comment bro! Will have to try and see if I can remove those reflection using software CP

Thanks Chua! I wouldn't have taken this if PE did not call me over. Strange enough, this is the only sharper shot that I got out of those few that I snapped over there.
