Ofer, this is a wonderful shot! The colors are gorgeous - what a great plant to have caught the honeyeater on. And that eye, oh, that eye is captivating...

Excellent shot in every way!

Great job manual focusing too. I never had much luck doing that with the 10D.

Ofer, what a wonderful shot! I guess this bird is from the same "family" as the Sunbirds, Spiderhunters and Flowerpeckers of South East Asia and South Africa. Three cheers for NPN for making it possible for all of us to view birds from all over the world in one place!
