A very good string image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of those beautifully coloured birds and their location. Exposure and sharpness are spot on. Great photo and good luck!

Wow, what a sight, they're certainly an huge improvement on the boring sparrows and pigeons I get! Lol
A very lovely shot Mary, their colours are amazing and are really set off well by the dull background and the fallen tree.
Excellent focus giving great detail to the feathers and the tree.
Lovely composition too, simple but very eye catching - a bit of a shame though that the second bird is partially hidden, but hey I'm just nit picking there!
Exposure is absolutely spot on too. A lovely shot.
Very good luck in the competition!
Charlotte

Beautiful pair of Rainbow Larikeets, you had the privilege to see and capture! I'd give my right arm to see these gorgeous birds where I live. So colorful. You've captured a lovely image. Perfect balance, exposure and framing. Good luck in the contest!
