The little but beautiful Slivereye. I love how this image came out and one day I would love to be a pro nature/wildlife photographer. In short, I love animals and nature and I love photographing them.

Don’s response
Jason Anderson’s study of a Silvereye perched on a Grevillea would make a fine bird guide or textbook illustration. The composition is balanced and the subject is at just the right angle to see the key details of its plumage.
Focus, ever a challenge with bird photography, is just about perfect and the soft light (a cloudy day perhaps) delivers studio-grade modeling.
Add in a delicately modulated background and only the most minimal out of focus foreground elements, and I think there’s much to admire in the craft of this image.
