Have tried to reduce the hallo and reposted the image....can not be seen with PSD file....really difficult to handle with some of such small files while saved for web posting  :(

Thanks for your input Alan.

Your images are always so great! Thank you for sharing them. How is the flower in the bird's bill suspended? Is it stuck on the bill?

Best,

Matt

Great timing Debapratim. This is a beautiful image with a great story too. It would be great to have the background info on this image. I read your response to Matt

Thanks Missy....we have little scope for set up photography (where things can be controlled) here in the Himalayan forest habitat;the light, bg or perch are always natural (only some fewer cases selective perches can be applied).In this image I had a rough bg post processed for presentation.

Other than the slight halo...this is an absolute beauty. These are hyperactive and this is so well done

Appreciate the compression problems
