This seems to be a very restless species (I haven't seen one, but in videos they don't hang about) so it would have taken quick reflexes to capture this one, perfectly framed between two stems, posing so nicely. It seems to have stopped "zitting" to look at something which has caught its attention. A brilliant shot JJ, with superb feather detail.

Wow, impressive picture of this gorgeous Zitting Cisticola. Great close-up, pose, perch, setting, lighting, focus, dof, and colors. Exceptional JJ!
 
Well spotted and excellently focused. A beautiful composition with wonderful detail and colours in its habitat.
