Went to Frogs for the third time to get a photo of the WBM. Went there in the afternoon and saw Propjerry staking out the site already. I was lucky on my third attempt. I think the munias would soon build a nest and would be a regular sight in the area for quite sometime. White-bellied Munia ( Lonchura leucogastra) 5DM2 + 600 L f4 IS + 1.4x Sigma TC, f5.6, 1/125 sec., ISO 2500, Tv priority, + 2/3 EV, under available light, Tripod-Gimbal, USM

Fantastic capture Neon. You not only got it in the open without the OOF blades of grass, you got it with a nice melted BG too. Congrats Neon, great photography.

wow! normally I would say that huge blade of grass on the foreground is a distraction but your treatment made it work to help deepen the field! Truly expert work!

Wow what a shot. This is the kind of shot that I would like to have. I went this morning but did not get to see the bird. I met up with JV and Gabs. JV and I moved to the Red-bellied Pitta while Gabs waited for the WBM and possibly Pied Triller to arrive. You should submit this as an entry to the Canon contest. Well done Neon. Mabuhay.

Wonderful capture Neon, the bird looks sharp and the uniform green BG nicely brings out the contrast colors and details of the WBM.

Very beautiful, the bird seems to float in the greenery of the background...
