The perching position of the nature subject is also an important element of the image. Last but not least, selecting a suitable background is equally essential for the visual impact of the image. Ensuring the subject critically in focus in order to have a sharp final image is the upmost requirement. Orienting all these elements and capture the image from a vantage angle is  the end result of freezing the moment permanently. This is an image that I captured at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 12 June 2021 with Leica Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 mm lens + Leica Apo-Extender-R 2X on SonyA7RIII body (manual focusing).   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Perching-On-The-Tip-Of-A-Dried-Branch2-0210612-A7R3-0009-copy-116x89.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"116\" height=\"89\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Perching-On-The-Tip-Of-A-Dried-Branch2-0210612-A7R3-0009-copy.jpg?resize=116%2C89&amp;ssl=1 116w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Perching-On-The-Tip-Of-A-Dried-Branch2-0210612-A7R3-0009-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C588&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Perching-On-The-Tip-Of-A-Dried-Branch2-0210612-A7R3-0009-copy.jpg?w=854&amp;ssl=1 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[19,37,6,66,17,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-decisive-moment","category-leica","category-nature","category-original-archived","category-singapore","category-visual-art","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/prB36-3jc","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12722"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12728,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12722\/revisions\/12728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
