A lovely shot of a beautiful little bird. My only nit is the white blob between the bird and the right hand leaf. The shot has a nice "Aw..." impact.

A beautiful bird indeed. Great details in the Lorikeet, nice perch. Just a suggestion...maybe a slight crop from the left side to eliminate the curved branch, it would clean that left edge up and be less of a distraction. Great shot! :toast:

Beautiful image, Rob. The lorikeet really stands out in the drab surroundings. I might either crop off the left to take off the bottom left corner or include more of it if you have the option. Otherwise, your composition looks perfect. Are those eucalyptus leaves in the background? :toast:

Wow this is a beauty Rob! A very hard bird to capture well - they are always way up in the canopy zipping around - nice work!
Did you use playback?
