RK Flowerpecker in sweet morning light

[Romy Ocon]

Nothing can be more flattering to a bird's appearance than being illuminated in sweet golden light, either in the early morning or late afternoon.

I got very lucky this morning to catch this little beauty in first morning light. There was a very thin overcast in the east and that helped tone down a bit the overly warm illumination in that golden moment.

Again, no pixel was harmed nor wasted in this uncropped full frame capture.
