Male Loten's Sunbird
Last Sunday I had plenty of birds to shoot. It had stopped raining and birds were busy finding nest materials. I stood beside a milk weed bush whaich had dry seed pod with silk in it. That day I got several good shots.Here is one of the Male Loten’s Sunbird(Cinnyris lotenius) from that day’s photography.
Edit: After Shiva’s Comment I thought of removing the noise from the image. Reason for this noise was Under exposure which was corrected in light room as well as cropping as I had taken this with my X Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM without Tele converter.

Neat shot Krishi.

I think re-running NR would enhance the background.

Shiva Thanks for the suggestion
I have not run any NR earlier on the photo. It was just cropped and brightness adjusted slightly.
I have now run Noiseware and here is the result.
