Yet another shot from my dad's goat farm. This time its a Boer Goat. My dad rears and breeds them for commercial purposes. This guy was giving me the stare, most probably because I disturbed it during it meal time. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.

Got this during my trip to Taiping recently. The birds belongs to one of my uncle. He has a walk in aviary full of colourful parakeets. It was quite a challenge to capture them as they were flying all over the place. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.

Shot taken at my dad's goat farm. The goat was quite curious with the camera that I was pointing at it. Took a few shots and this was the one that really looked good. I like the slightly tilted head of the goat. It shows some sense on curiosity from the goat. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.

Found this in my mother's garden. Only managed to get 2 shots of it before it flew away. Tried to take the whole body into the frame, but the dragonfly flew away before I could do anything. I think this composition works as well. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.

This particular caterpillar was resting on a green leaf when I found it. I tried to take a shot of it but the colour of the caterpillar was not prominent enough. So I moved the caterpillar to a different leaf so that the contrast can be see. No caterpillar was harmed during this photoshoot.

Finally an update from me after so long. Very very sorry if have disappointed any of you out there. I got married end of last month and the few weeks leading up to the wedding and after the wedding was quite hectic. Thus the lack of update on my blog. However, I am back on track and I hope to continue updating this blog more often.
Here is a photo taken of my mum's orchid back in Sandakan. Quite a few in the series, so stay tuned for more orchids, especially for all orchid lovers up there. This particular orchid is a wild orchid that can be found in the jungles of Malaysia. Not sure on how my mum got hold of it. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.
