hi Jon

Very nice color and detail of the bird with the flower in sharp focus and really very well positioned in this composition.

Did you use fill-in flash?

Hallo Jon
Such an explosion of colours all in one. This is really beautiful, just as so many of your other bird images in your gallery. The details captured on the feathers, especially the blue ones and the orange beak is just splendid. I must admit, the flowers really attracted my attention for quite a while as the form and shape is very fascinating. My Christmas wish to you and your family in whatever language you feel most comfortable as follow:
Best regards.
Anna

Hi Jon,
I like the way the bird is looking at you a lot. It looks like he really want to figure what you are doing. Its also great to see such a colorful image during this grey winter period. I gave me a pleasant feeling to look at. I made a workshop for you because I felt the photo has some digital haze. By adding contrast the colors will also look more vibrant.
TFS,
Niek

Great shot of a Red-collared Lorikeet, the differences between this and the Rainbow being clearly seen from this POV with fine sharpness. The lighting, composition with the red flowers and BG are all excellent to make this a high class image.
Well done and TFS!
