It may seem like this sassy olive-backed sunbird is cheekily winking at me, but I suspect the poor thing has an issue with its left eye.

Not fight or flight, but fight and flight.

Some shots of the beautiful #brahminykite that gracefully soared by, unperturbed by the fighter jets that were whizzing by at the time.

A meeting of fighting falcons: A composite of two photos taken from the same spot, minutes apart. One of the more interesting photos taken during the previews and rehearsals leading up today’s National Day parade.

Happy 60th Birthday, #Singapore! 🇸🇬

If you see this #sandtigershark casually sauntering over to you, what would you do?

Moo-ving though the blue ocean: Was about to take it for granted that this was some sort of puffer. Am glad I checked first, because it’s actually a longhorn cowfish.

Frogs are another ribbiting feature at Aquaria Phuket.

Glow big or go home: Bioluminescent #seaanemone are prime examples of nature flexing its bright side.

One of my favourite critters from Aquaria Phuket is this rather rotund, beefy skink.

Newt-hing compares to the cuteness of this critter with fire in its belly.

Aquaria Phuket is much more than an aquarium. It also features quite a few denizens of the scaly kind.

Breathtaking moments abound in Phuket, especially at blue hour when golden hues intermingle with rich azure to create pure magic.

I ended up with 17,000+ from this shoot so my answer is yes 😅 Making up for poor technique with volume 😂
