To all the guys & dolls who laughs at the large birds that Neon, William, & I posts at the forum, I finally have a couple of pictures that has a nice surrounding so the bird is not large but life size. I hope you will now be appeased. Heh heh heh. The "carino brutal" friends that we have include Rey, Tina, and Romy. Nevertheless I was never offended. In fact I find it to be a compliment. This one is for you. Canon 5DM2, EF 800mm F5.6 IS L Lens, Manfrotto 475B Tripod, MF 373 Gimbal Head Olive-backed Sunbird, Cinnyris jugularis Both pictures ISO 1600, 1/250, f8   |

Nice composition Ka Ely but......errr...I am confuse with orientation of the banana blossom ;D Thank you Nestor. I don't blame you because normally a banana grows downward. This is an ornamental banana and it grows upward. I hope you can imagine this unusual plant. By the was it is a live plant use for landscaping rather than eating the fruit which is very small. |
