[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken at sunset from the deck of a restaurant at Mt Tambourine. The view was beautiful and there were many wild Lorikeets around.

I used flash to keep the vibrant colours of the Lorikeets, while also maintaining the warm colours of the sunset.

LOVELY !!! Your are right, the colors are vibrants ! The birds are wonderful and sunset behind is great bonus. For composition rule perhaps less space on left and more on right where they are looking...
Congratulations Claudia and thanks for sharing.

You have done a great job of balancing the subjects and the BG in this image, Claudia.
The birds look very beautiful indeed against the warm colours of the setting sun.
TFS.

This is beautiful Claudia, the lories look gorgeous especially with that Australian sunset illuminating the background. They look like they have a picture of the sunset on their chest. :)

excellent colours, composition and use of flash.
well done

Wow Claudia, these are so lovely, I've only seen them in the zoo, it would be wonderful to see them "in person" like this. The flash worked beautifully in capturing the color of these beautiful birds. Great composition with the sun glowing on their left, while peeking out between them, and the tree branch on the right, well done.

Hi Claudia!
