Sunbird Hovering at Protea Flower Near Lahore

by Jodie Wynn

Bright tropical sunlight floods the late summer air near Lahore, illuminating a sunbird suspended in mid-air. The bird's iridescent throat feathers flash against the deep green of a large protea flower head. Wind whips the flower's stiff bracts and the bird's tail feathers into a blur of motion, against the creature's patient, predatory stillness. The rule of thirds places the hovering subject to the left, while the flower dominates the right side. Fine details show the sharp curve of the beak and the texture of the flower's overlapping scales. One bract tip catches the light, glowing white at the very edge of the frame.
