[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I shot this picture at Butterfly World one of my favorite places. just cropped and sharpen some pretty much as it came out of the camera. below is some info from Wikipeda Enjopy!


the typical Honeycreepers are small birds in the tanager family. They are found in the tropical New World from Mexico south to Brazil.

They occur in the forest canopy, and, as the name implies, they are specialist nectar feeders with long curved bills.

The four Cyanerpes species have colourful legs, long wings and a short tail. The males are typically glossy purple-blue and the females greenish.

The Green Honeycreeper is called a Honeycreeper, but belongs to the monotypic Chlorophanes genus. It has a larger, stouter bill than the Cyanerpes group, and is less heavily dependent on nectar.

pose is great, object is well isolated with excellent DOF. however, i feel that the flash made it look a bit unnatural, especially near the head. for this kind of shot, i usually turn the flash off and bump up the ISO in order to have a decent shutter speed.
