Zerstorer, nice attempts at the Crimson, very well exposed but I feel they could have been better given enough DOF. Nevertheless, good job and keep it coming!
Thanks.
The limited depth of field was actually intended as I wanted to protray them in a manner different from the usual style of shooting. My personal favourite is the 3rd shot as it has a sense of dynamic impact with the visual elements(blurred orchid in foreground) and DOF leading into the focal point at the centre. When I scrolled through my shots, this was the one that caught my eye immediately rather than the others with a more classical composition.
These shots were taken at a distance of just over a meter.
I crept up on the sunbird when it was feeding and I found that since I was so close, I jokingly decided to switch to my 85mm and shoot some bird portraiture-hence the title. ;p
