Hello Terrry,
Daily natural life scene.
Nice green tones. In my opinion papaya leaves look like orange leaves.
Thank you for notes.

Hi Terry,
perfect shot.Good light and clarity.TFS.Necla.

Looks like a fruit shot to me Terry. Nice clear shot of the bird, good detail and well framed. Some brighter parts of the image have OE but not too unbearable. TFS,
David

Hi Terry,

Hey, you're not only giving us photos of fruit for the theme but also a colourful bird. Sayang juga la pasal tu daun di kepala but most of the times we could not control the setting when it comes to animal/wildlife.

Good exposure in this photo, the red colour in the bird's eye really strikes a contrast in the photo.

TFS.

Regards,
Alvin

Hello Dear Terry
A marvellous capture
The best one of the theme for me so far.
Great Job.
TFS

hello Terry

love the green here and the birdy with red eye, it seems that starling dosenot like the idea to get clicked while eating. haha haha.

Hello dear Terry!
Good contribution to the theme! Lovely scene! Beautiful colors, lights and deatils! Nice note!
TFS, Best regards, Zorica

Hello Terry. Excellent contribution for the theme. I like the sharp red eye of starling in well exposed detail. Very well done and thanks for sharing. You are getting much better with nature capture :-) Regards. Jusni

Hello Terry! Nice light and shadow. Good colors. Very good POV and capture. Beautiful bird. Very good shot. Well done!

Nice shot Terry, how lucky to have that gap between the leaves to frame him with.
Super detail, especially the eye, catchlight and all.
A fine posting for the theme.
Pete.

Hi sis,

Saya lebih terlambat lagi submit foto tentang fruit . . Baru tadi pagi saya foto dragon fruit . .
Saya bingung semalam mau share foto apa . . eh dapatnya buah ini . .
Tadinya mau durian . . tapi nggak ada yang kecil . . semuanya monthong dari Thailand . .
Selamat akhir pekan . .
Baru tahu kalau burung ini yang suka makanin papaya . .

Salam,
Tjutjut

Papayas sure look nice - husband Ad loves them - I don't, but I like the way they look. You are so blessed with all these tropical fruits growing near you.
Yes this young bird also needs his fruits.

Terry, TFS, hope you have a great weekend to enjoy,

Els

Hello Terry

No need to apologise for late posting I dont think it was late anyway. What a superb shot two for the price of one here with the bird and the fruit. Nice detail and excellent colours

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hi Boom,
Bagus2 idea ko ni Boom kalau ikut tema...aku banyak liat orang posting buah2an ja,tapi ko! buah dimakan burung pula tu.2 in 1..:)

Tentang shot ko ni,komen dikit lah..part di bahagian burung tu tak berapa focus.Ako tau lah bukan senang ambik benda yang bergerak-gerak ni.Tapi kira handal juga sudah ko ni Boom,Kalu ko pakai DSLR kamera,mungkin lebih teror lagi shot ko ni.Bahagian yang lainnya,daun yang satu tu lagi kacau.Kena kepalanya.Tapi apa kan dapat dibuat ya Boom,sudahnya camatu..biarkan saja,nda jadi masalah tu.

Keseluhurannya aku suka warna kontras dan lighting nya.Clear image!!
All the best!

CM

Lots of different elements here, but all put together, lit and presented well.
Very nice shot and good presentation of all of it; color, lighting, DOF and POV--all the abbreviations are right on here. ;o)
