The Grey-throated Sunbird (Anthreptes griseigularis) is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in a wide range of semi-open wooded habitats in the northern and eastern part of the Philippines. It is often considered a subspecies of the Brown-throated Sunbird, but the two differ consistently in measurements and plumage, and there is no evidence of intergradation between them.[1] It has not been rated by BirdLife International (and consequently IUCN), but is generally common and therefore unlikely to be threatened.

Nice shot taken with an incredible lens

Like previous shots, the bird really is too small in the frame and the blown highlights are a bit overpowering. It is potentially a nice shot with some cloning and a closer crop, something like this

Thanks Tom Alan and Russel.

Hi Reece,

Thank you for taking time for critique.

Will consider remixing it and clone out the blown highlights and a tighter though different crop. When I did the crop I was thinking on the lines of 2'x3' print.

why would you want to print it with all those blown highlights

by cropping there is no reason why you cant keep the ratio
