    4. I think it's not the birds that are unattractive. The tree's branches and their leaves distract my sights until I couldn't see clearly the beauty of those birds. Hornbill Birds are a pride of Sarawakian, I shouldn't say they are not attractive. I sincerely apologize for that, Encik Joe.

    5. initial human words are honest, then the next explanation is only small talk to cover up the mistakes that have been made, honesty is indeed expensive but can be honest is great

    6. Okay. This is my opinion from my eyes' perspective. I don't fancy the composition of these photos. I hardly see the birds as their feathers are black. Dark green and black are blended so well until the contract colors disappeared. The white background doesn't help to stand out the subjects. Perhaps if the birds were captured away from the tree, while they are flying to the blue sky, it will have a better shot. What's your opinion, Mr Unknown?

    7. your explanation is better than the previous explanation, this is what you should inform to Encik Joe, so he can do a better photo, if indeed he is pleased to fulfill your request. But it seems that art cannot be regulated personally, the field of art is different from calculating personal finances that can be calculated strictly.

    9. Actually that makes bird and wildlife photography such a challenging type of the art. We can’t tell the birds and animal how to pose for us or when is the best time to show up. Anyway thanks for all your thoughts. Really appreciate it.

    10. listen to the explanation from those who have the copyright, the art is not something that can be made according to personal needs, especially the object that is taken is a living object, where all emotions, behavior and nature are captured by the camera lens naturally
