Incredibly beautiful!

What a charming little bird. Very good detail and I think the framing in the middle suits the pose as well, as it is looking directly at the photographer. Well Done and thanks for sharing. You have quite a few endemic species in the Philippines.

Thank you Greg, Isac and Brad.

Again, wonderful colours and detail. Branch on LHS should go though but that's being picky.

Thanks Isac. The community I am with would lynch me if I removed that.

[Isac]

I won't tell anyone if you won't.

That is gorgeous as it is!

Looks all fluffed up and totally relaxed. It must feel safe in that tree. Beautiful light and framing. Your bokeh is fabulous.
