Very nice! But the purple fringing also quite obvious.

Is the bird shot locally? Very nice bird!

Does the photo look abit washed-out on your screens? Or my monitor is out-of-calibration.

it was shot in Panti Forest somewhere in Johor.

yes, its a little washed out cos of the fog there and it only lifted after 9am

anyway the pix is only about 20% of the whole frame.
