Thanks Jennifer, just wondering why the low rating of 3.5 was there a way I could improve the image?

Wow, the rainbow lorikeet is such a pretty bird , I love the colors! Great timing to capture two sharing the tree trunk, I like the way they are posed allowing a view of the back and tail on the bird on left with the other bird facing forward allowing a view of its orange/ yellow breast.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural.
I really appreciate that you managed to get a clear eye on both birds!
Soft background works well to emphasize the lorikeets.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

What a perfect day to find this subject on a grey overcast day! Love the angle showing their eyes and kaleidoscopic feathers. Well framed.

Excellent job Mary.

these rainbows are so colorful.. its a no wonder where they got their name from.

the contrast between them and the neutral branch is excellent.

Hi Mary, You sure are lucky to live in a n area with such pretty birds. These lorikeets look like rainbows on the wing. How lucky were you to capture two in one shot! Love the lighting on these two and the focus. Love your pov too! It's just enough so we can both birds... and at different angles too! I think it's a great entry for the contest! Thanks for sharing! :o) Nancy

This stunning photo of Rainbow Lorikeets on the tree stump is a true testament to the beauty of nature. The graceful presence of the birds, and their poised stature, create a sense of tranquillity and elegance. Lovely Pic. Good luck!
