I have been thinking for a couple of days that we see quite a different aesthetic from each of them. Kengoh usually has a very smooth background, abstracting the bird from its environment whereas Pentaxians tends to produce recognisable forms int he background, showing the birds in context. Different, but both well executed.
Many thanks for the comments from both of you. Personally, there's ain't any competition as both of us (ALL of us, is this forums) are using Pentax gears, in terms of composition, framing of the object, shooting style, etc, to each of its own, yes, def. have some differences between me and Ken.
Locally, so far from what I know there are only 3 persons (me, Ken and Mr Loke) are using Pentax gears in wildlife photography. Majority are flooded with Canikon. This is not a good sign but some of them do respecting pentax colours while talking to them in the field. I'd met Mr. Loke (he tend to posting most of his shots in his facebook) several times in the field. I'm started late (around Apr 2015) in wildlife photography and I'm still learning most of the Technics from Mr Ken and Loke
Back to sharing. first time seeing this Colugos while waiting for the Brown Hawk Owl (the current star bird of the month),
info extracted from the wiki: Colugos are arboreal gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia. Just two extant species make up the entire family Cynocephalidae and order Dermoptera.They are the most capable gliders of all gliding mammals, using flaps of extra skin between their legs to glide from higher to lower locations. They are also known as cobegos or flying lemurs, although they are not true lemurs.
