Dripping tap.
Yellow White-eye. Zosterops Luteus.

Taken against a bg of Australian desert.

Thanks for looking.

Exotic species and an unusual image as well! The BG colour works very well with the green of the bird. At first my thoughts were perhaps a little off the left but as there a lot of flying drops there I think it would take something from the image. Certainly don't get those in bonny Scotland! Fantastic image and no nits from me.

A brilliant BOAT !! No nits from me either, apart from lacking the third dimension. :cool: :biggrin: :wink:

Something different. I love the BG and the reflections in the drips :wink:

Now that's different and enhanced further with the drips. I really like it.

Different and well taken Keith. I'm not so sure about the oof tail of the bird being in the foreground: ie I think I would have preferred the birds front facing the camera but when you are shooting natural subjects as opposed to set ups you can only take what you see.
Great detail in the bird, tap and water droplets.

Well spotted Keith and very well caught :smile:

Sorry I cannot really find any faults with it

Its a nice image but i think it would even be better if the bird was facing the camera.
