wow you are in luck... so far i don have much luck with those crimson sunbird.
anyway i think the 2nd 1 is too saturated and oversharpened.
Only one word "WOW". I wont be able to get this image.
nice pose on the 2nd shot! But do turn down the in-camera sharpening and saturation. The colors look somwhat unnatural. Camera sensors tend to overexpose the red channel more resulting in the more "unnatural" tint.
Thanks Scenar.
What do you think #1 sharpening and saturation, if it’s Ok, than what should I do. Please advice, both shots are the same setting.
the 2nd shot got a nice background tone, while the first one got a good birdy tone.
saturation and sharpness is pretty alright for #1, but will be even better if the halo on the wings ain't that obvious(not a big problem to me since it is not very obvious.)
for the red saturation, i think it is like what scenar have said (i do face this sometimes especially on red colors)
as for the halo, it might be due to a few thing, could be in-camera sharpening, reflection cause by flash...
last but not least, it could be natural.
The first one gets my vote for the colour and the bokeh, although I find the plant sticking out from the chest and tail of the sunbird somewhat distracting. A bit more space on the top may be better .. I think .. since the bird is looking up. Like the earlier comments, I find the colour of the second picture needs to be less saturated. Still, I like the bird's pose that you manage to catch. These are two good pictures, I don't even know if I can do something like this myself
Thumbs up for you :thumbsup: Keep shooting

Hi scenar. I've look through your crimson sunbird and the red colour is the almost the same as my #2 shots. Please advice.
