I think you need to be observant in order to see the yellow bill oxpecker against the darker background.
The dark back drop was none other than the body of a wild animal.
This was one of the image that I capture during my 2nd safari trip in Tanzania, South Africa, on 14 12 2019.
One thing that you could be sured is I like the good contrast of the image besides the story content of the nature.
On 05 01 2023, returning to Upper Peirce Reservoir after a 3 km morning walk, from my vantage angle I was attracted by the beautiful pattern of the new leaves by the road side.
Without further ado, I decided to capture the image without any hesitation. Though the morning light condition was soft, I anticipate to post-process to create the image that I had in mind. The result is better than I could expect. This is a kind of image that I fore seen the result when I was capturing.
From a vantage angle, strong pattern of well-lit spider web is always a favourite perspective for photography. The tiny spider is a subject that could be easily missed in macrophotography. When the image properly captured, undoubtedly is an eye-catching image with strong visual impact. (Upper Peirce Reservoir on 18 11 2022)
