As Ely said, the composition is based on personal taste. But I can tell you that this is much better than the Carolina Wren photos I took when i was in Florida. Keep watching for these birds, Eric and hopefully you'll be able to catch them in mid-song.

On our last day in Davao (the day after the Bird Fair) this bird perched on a tree not that far from the 2nd floor veranda of the hotel room we were staying in. Collared Kingfisher Insular Waterfront Hotel - Davao City Canon 5D Mk II, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-320, shutter-priority, 1/400, f6.3, camera placed on the ledge of the veranda. ;D

Wow! Big congrats on finally nailing this elusive "star" of U.P.! And another congrats for getting a "lifer" in the person of Rey Sta. Ana ;D

Very interesting pose and the lighting and effective use of flash! Were you able to attend the Asian Bird Fair held last week in Davao?

What a great harvest you had at Olango, Doc! These birds are would-be lifers for me.

Welcome to the Philippine Bird Photography Forum, Junn! I am certain that the images you see here will stoke your passion for bird photography. Feel free to ask questions (the only stupid question is the one that is not asked). The regulars here (herein referred to as "birdnuts" ;D) are a friendly, helpful bunch. Hope to see you posting soon!

I love the painting-like quality of these photos, JV! Reminds me of Seurat. I can just imagine you huddled inside the shack firing away at this intrepid bee-eater.

Not really a good shot, but last Wednesday I was just lucky to catch the now famous juvenile Philippine Serpent Eagle of UP while it was on the ground hunting for breakfast. 40D, 300mm+1.4X ISO-800, 1/320, f5.6, shakingly handheld. ;D

Doc, you just made a lot of birdnuts, including myself, cry! These are over the top shots! I was there yesterday afternoon (around 1;30 pm) but the Eagle did not return.

Great catch (both you and the stork-billed KF) ;D Excellent exposure considering part of the subject is in shadow and part in sunlight.

Goodness gracious, Jv! The birds must have heard how great you are at taking photos that they come and visit you!
